We're actually considered 'emergency personnel' so we're allowed to be on the road during a SoE... not that we should.
I got VERY lucky where I am in central-northern NJ (80 corridor). Never lost power aside from one brief 20 second hit last night, no damage or water issues. I'm counting my blessings since I have friends in Hoboken and NYC who were much more heavily impacted than me.

Stay safe everyone...Where I'm at in crown Heights isn't as bad. A couple of treese struck down, still chaotic, but not nearly as bad as other areas.
This is unreal.

Bloomberg says MTA may not be running until this weekend or later. If this is true how we supposed to hit the parties up this weekend, specifically Richie Hawtin

The subways are not running but buses are. In any case, you'll prob have to cross bridges on foot. I'd cross queensboro bridge though (since all of lower manhattan is prob a shitshow) and take a bus from Queens to Brooklyn, maybe transfer.

Back to work today after being off Mon and Tues. Kids are still out of school today too. I have power at home fortunately. My neighborhood is a mess with down trees but not much in the way of flooding. Drove to work in Long Island today and there was barely anyone on the road so no traffic.
Even if the parties are still on this weekend I'm strongly considering just staying in until the streets are cleaned properly.
