just heard from Ann!
Hi Everyone: I just had a fun, chatty conversation with Ann in New York. Her power is off, BUT ComEd--the electrical company--turned it off on purpose! My husband and I learned on this evening's news that if there is salt water flooding and the power goes out while the electricity is still on, it takes a lot longer to rectify the situation. If, however, the power is off and there is salt water flooding, it takes a lot less time to get power back on. Ann is not located in any of the A, B, or C areas, though she is close to C, I believe she said, so that helps. Ann has lots of battery operated lighting, and she has pre-grounded her coffee, so she'll have drip coffee in the morning despite not being able to use her electric coffeemaker. Ann said she tried to call Mark Roberts in Boston, but she got his voicemail, so no word there. I told Ann I'd call her tomorrow just to check in. Hope everyone else out east is safe. We're all thinking about you guys!

Re: just heard from Ann!
I just read Christine's message and called Annsan (she'd called my cell rather than my home # and I had the cellphone turned off). She and her cat are doing fine! Winds have died down to next to nothing here - far sooner than predicted. Looks like we dodged a bullet. Storm is heading westward.

A power station went out, taking out most of everything below 40th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpagev=ZAqYZ433TeQ#t=15s Lots of pictures of flooding here: http://buzzfeedandrew.tumblr.com/ On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:23 PM, Mark Roberts postmas...@robertstech.com wrote: I just read Christine's message and called Annsan (she'd called my cell rather than my home # and I had the cellphone turned off).
