    Power out in Subways, traffic lights out, about 27K Units are/will be in the dark. Guess we will see how civilized things stay or if opportunist will come out as the Sun sets. Whole lot of people trapped in tall buldings right now! Big Blackout in 1977 had arson, looting, muggings and general rioting. AND YOU CAN'T CC there!

    The folks who have been affected by hurricane Barry will for the most part will be better behaved than the people in NYC who are dealing with power outages. Probably got a little bit to do with gun control laws disarming law abiding citizens

    61K customers , which translates to possibly millions with no power, as one building counts as one customer...

    my heart goes out to them..







    not....



    Louisiana has it worse.

    News reporting cause as a transformer fire. I was wondering if Chinese Gov hackers were trying to leverage a better Trade Deal, they've been caught in power/water/utilities computers before.

    All the major networks have run nonstop coverage of the blackout. Seems like all the major news media outlets forgot about "Berry" though State and Fed Emergencies have been declared. Must be more important to report theater, resturant and entertainment shutdowns. N.Y Gov asked New Yorkers to be "Good New Yorkers"! Translation: Please Behave! Lol

    AOC Says stuck elevators are Concentration Camps and demands appetizers and sparkling water be served immediately. Lol

    Where was Trump when this happened. If he can't prove that he did not tell the Russians to do this . . WELL . . he is simply a raciest commie.

    I screened media for the past week, nothing out of the ordinary as far as criminal activity goes during the recent Blackout. Gotta say I'm suprised . I'd give NYC praise but acceptable behaviors should be the norm.

    it sure got lots of media attention... watching some of the coverage it occurred to me that the more interesting aspect were the various offices, etc that were lit up in a field of darkness.. i am guessing that perhaps others noticed as well and were documenting it for who knows what...
