Parents got the power and the Internet back. Still, lots of trees hanging on the wires.

Fri 11/2

In the evening, we got the power and the Internet back, but parents are still without. The generator ran for 4 days non-stop, keeping us warm and entertained. Each day was about 10 gallons of gas ($45).

In the morning, got home telephone line working.

Thu 11/1

Ditto.


Wed 10/31

Still no power / no Internet. No repair crews on the streets - must be busy somewhere else.

Tue 10/30

We have no power (running on the generator) and no Internet, but other than that, all is normal. Not as bad as other storms of the past.

Phone line went dead.

Picked up Leon on Tuesday night - NYC below 38 street is all dark. So, the students were told to move to camp in the few buildings that have generators or to get out. Empty highways. Made it to Washington Square and back in less then 2 hours.

Mon 10/29

Power went out around 4PM.
