hey! my mom has lived through 3 blackouts now and I am interested in her stories of the first two!
i was waiting for a subway underground when it happeend. I was on a subway platform in Brooklyn, and the lights flickered and went out. The first thing I said ot myself was...."damn, its a blackout." What else could it be? It's hot, the first nice day in a long time....and it was hot! plus you have an outdated power grid system, and you ahve a blackout (damn squandered money!)
I was without power for close to 25 hours, but things came back on around 4 PM.
Again with Iragis laughing at Americans (i didnt even here this) they like to see Americans fall on our face......the bigshot world power doesnt have electricity) I heard that many places made it out to be al chaotic and stuff in New York, but it was relatively calm. People were partying, having a good time. True, there was some minor looting, but it wasn't major. People jsut coped with it and made the best of it. No big deal. Move on.......chill out......too hot to get all upset.
