Oh, as I expected.

Apparently this storm will be responsible for one full hour of extra productivity in my life tomorrow... and maybe the day after tomorrow as well :p

Edit: :stongue:

"The Day After Tomorrow" looks so ominous in my post now :p

Numbers Roundup :

11 deaths reported, along with some very fortunate rescue efforts, as a result of Hurricane Sandy, according to CNN.

10,000 calls to 911 in New York City each half-hour, the Mayor’s office reports.

670,000 people in New York City alone don’t have power, according to the city.

5M people without power as a result of the storm, according to the Washington Post.

This is pretty ed up:

" 20 babies in the neonatal unit, four of which were on ventilators, were removed from the hospital."

"Making things more complicated is the fact there are no elevators in the building and many patients are being carried down stairs."

Well, it apparently got worse:

Many people have reported witnessing bright lights in the sky over Manhattan due to an explosion at the ConEdison plant at 14th Street on the east side of the city. It appears this video, unconfirmed but widely shared, captured that moment. It's dramatic.

It'd be so funny if like a flying lamp post or something comes crashing in through your window and just completely takes your head right off. :gsmile:

The storm was less than impressive in DC, but that didn't stop everyone from inexplicably freaking out. Even today, I don't have to go into work because a light drizzle and gentle breeze are apparently too scary.

Clearly we don't need to invest money in our infrastructure. Come on, austerity!
