Power Outage Update

Well if they haven't, they won't be able to reply!!

 

the good:

the bad:

 

Yeah, I was supposed to do the final mixdown of our cd last night, but we had no power in the studio. Oh well, hopefully it will be done next week.

 

got our power back around 5am.

 

I'm just south of the outage area. We felt it, brown out caused some issues (lost 45 minutes of work because an open file was corrupt).

Luckily that + several short internet outages over the evening was all we had.

 

I dunnno about the rest of PA, but South Central didn't even feel it...I didn't know about it until I heard about it on the news. *shrugs*.

my power came back around noon

 

i'm still not able to get in touch with my people at out main office yet (NYC)

 

my power went out at 4:15 or so yesterday and I just got it back a few minutes ago

 

lower manhattan checkin' in!

we finally got ours back around 4pm today. you could literally hear the shouts of joy from the streets and people's apartment buildings.

last night was quite an adventure. my area was sorta like what it felt during 9/11. everyone kinda bewildered, but also a little afraid. didnt know what was going on, but everyone trying to comfort everyone else.

but this morning was just plain freakin' eery. ever see Vanilla Sky, where Tom Cruise is running thru Times Square? well, imagine that with bodies of sleeping people laying about, who look more dead than sleeping! lots of tourists were locked out of their rooms, cause the keycards wouldnt work. so they had blankets, cardboard boxes, etc and slept on the sidewalk.

i took some pics last night, and i'll get 'em up if anyone's interested. quite cool.

 

ooh i wanna see

glad everything is back to normal for ya too

 

I had no idea any of that stuff was happening until I heard about it today, because all day yesterday I was at Ozzfest. Woulda sucked if it hit there....man oh man....but ya know, I reckon all those bands playing super-loud are what caused it all in the first place.

 

add me to that too ! sounds cool

 

hey guys,

well, they're not all that, but a few shots i took with my digital camera of my neighborhood.

tonight, i'm chillin' at a friend's place who has AC, so i'll get 'em up tomorrow.

btw, not to start conspiracy theories, but did everyone else notice that the MS Worm hit us a week before, and then this whole blackout thing happened? coincidence?

 

ok, these pics came out horrible, but whaddya expect with no natural lighting!

this bar owner is using his huge SUV to power the lights in his bar. needless to say, he made a killing that night.
