That's technically a subway station.

Though, my current location (Grand Central Terminal) is a train station.

Odd....

What's odd? Are both of you on the same location at the same time?

CL&P says they expect to have most people back online by Saturday night but full restoration will take until Wednesday. We still don't have our power back at the house, of course.

It's also worth noting that the record for most people out at once in Connecticut, preveiously held by Hurricane Gloria in 1985... has not only been broken, it has been doubled.

Areas further away from the city have worse problems. New Jersey, which is known for being flood prone, has seen worse floods than any in recent memory. Rivers and streams overflowing in upstate New York and Vermont have washed out a lot of roads. Three historic covered bridges in Vermont are gone, and some towns are in fact now isolated as all (or, in many cases, merely both) roads out of town are no longer passable.

Metro-North has mostly returned to normal operation but the Port Jervis line will be out of commission north of Harriman for months as a huge section of it washed out.

I got my '03 Subaru Impreza wagon today. It's only got a 1.5L engine, but it feels like a rocket ship compared to the golf cart I was driving.

I hear the hurricane is going to be extremely costly despite being called overhyped.

New York City itself is not particularly prone to flooding since there aren't too many large streams. But plenty of flooding in outlying areas (especially New Jersey, where the joke is that the river floods if you spit in it).

Our chimney got hit by lightning once. No router to fry in those days (this was 2002), but it did fry our computer's ethernet card.

Oh? I thought a lot of it seemed pretty close to sea level. I would have thought the Hudson rising a few metres would at least flood a bit of the city.

Flooding all over Japan right now thanks to the typhoon. It's mostly missing us here, and Tokyo will largely go unpunished as well, but west Japan (Osaka, Shikoku, etc) is being inundated.

Also, I love my car.
