Atreides Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Stay safe, everyone in NY. I'm watching the live feeds and still astounded by the scope of the damage. When was the last time Manhattan was near-blacked out and flooded by a storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time Manhattan was near-blacked out and flooded by a storm?Last blackout was the big blackout of several years back. I can't remember ever losing power in a storm here in the city, to be honest. Maybe someone else can remember?ETA: OMG the big blackout was NINE years ago??? Where did the time go??

the maid of woodlynne Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 No work for me tomorrow. Whew! Still dealing with branches banging off the roof but the wind should start to level off in a few more hours. You'd think by now I'd be used to it but it still scares the crap out of me every time I hear a BANG-thud. :uhoh: Thankfully I still have power. If it holds on for a few more hours I should be OK. Stay safe and good luck, everyone. :grouphug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karaddin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Some of them also are Decepticons, rather than fighting them.On a more serious note they transform the voltage of the current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
