I just got my power back about an hour ago (I'm in Syracuse NY). I was in the middle of posting a long blog entry when we lost our internet connection this afternoon, and I lost the entire post when I submitted it, I'll rewrite it later... Our office still had power when I left, but as I biked (I cycle to work whenever I can) out of the city, I could see street lights out, there was a bad accident in one of the intersections too. I was able to bike right through, but cars had to be detoured. I can imagine its much crazier in NYC though!
