Hope Sara, Dutch, Ruthie, Jackie are all OK. I'm sure there's more members in the outage area but can't think right now. Scary thing especially the people stuck in the tunnels in NYC. Shades of 9-11. Hope they get this resolved soon!

I saw that ... how horrible and scary! Yes no one wants or needs a reminder of the fear from 9-11. Hope that all our friends here are safe and that the power is soon back on.

Hugs, Lor

Darby,

I've been watching this on the news. Seeing all those people in NY, can't even imagine the turmoil. Looks like they are keeping the peace right now.

I think Billie is in the outage alsp. Hope all is working again soon.

Hugs,

Rain

Power is up in NY! We have a generator

and were only mildly inconvenienced.

Yea. We all worry about terrorism now...

Too bad...but it was just old (whatever)

equipment at Niagra Mohawk

that powers the region. It can't serve the

amount of people anymore, I guess.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hugs, Sara

So glad you have a generator Sara and that life is pretty normal for you. Maybe now they will do something about that very old system.

Love ya

We got lucky Darby. It stopped about 25 miles north of here. Seems we "buy" our electricity from another source. Know nada about all of that stuff but was happy because we were at 91 degrees yesterday when that happened.

Cannot imagine the scare it gave NYC and most especially the people caught in the subway and the elevators. Hope everybody is well that it affected.

Thanks for asking.

Hugs, Ruthie
