Besides the heavy rain and all the downed trees, last night heavy storm got me and 90.000 plus other New Jersey residents power less.
The lack of electricity lasted for some 14 hours.
Local schools were closed today.
No morning coffee.
I have to decide what food to throw out rather than get sick.
Even my blackberry stopped to work for a while.
I guess some of the relay towers run out of juice.
Last night I passed a number of gas stations that were closed (no pumps working).
At least the temperature had receded so life was bearable without fans and air conditioning.
This goes to prove how energy dependent we are.
We just got the power back some 30 minutes ago.
Not sure how much writing will happen today.
