    Pretty much all of Manhattan south of 39th Street is without power right now both due to planned turn-offs and flooded substations. That is 250,000 customers. The Brooklyn Battery Tunnel now known as the Hugh Carey Tunnel has 11.5 feet of water in it.

        I see the headline "3 Dead as Sandy Ravages Through New Jersey" and it took me three times not to read it as "3 Dead as Randy Savage Through New Jersey."

              From numerous people I know on LI, the south shore has been getting hammered. Lots of houses with 9 feet of water near the shore.

              At my Alma mater near LI sound, our ship pier has taken a beating at low tide, they have been having lines, chains and wires breaking, but the ship is still doing alright. Haven't heard what the latest high tide has done for damage, but I imagine it has gotten a little worse there.

              Guess we'll now know what happens when a hurricane makes a hit near NYC. Hope all of you guys in CT, NY metro and NJ especially stay safe, along with the others in the path.

                Yes it does. Several other lines are within a few blocks of there also.

                  One half billion people without power in NY, NJ & CT. I am one of the lucky ones who never lost power although it flickered many times. Trees are down all over the place. There is no public transportation (LIRR, Metro-North, NJ Transit and NYC subway & buses) in the NY metro area. Tunnels are flooded and all of the bridges are still closed. All of the roads in the county I live in (Nassau) are closed. High tides last night were 9 feet above normal high tide. The entire south shore of Long Island from Merrick Rd/Montauk Highway (RT 27A) was flooded at last night's high tide. There are 50 houses in Breezy Point, Queens that are currently on fire. This storm now reaches from Illinois to the East Coast.

                    The Pittsburgh area seems to have made it through the storm pretty clean. I believe there was some flooding in the eastern townships and some tree branches down. But we avoided the snow to the south of us and the major storm damage to the east of us.

                      I think you are a few orders of magnitude off. Half billion would be all of the US, Canada, and much of Mexico combined. 50M would be all of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Conneticut, Deleware, and most of Virginia, combined. 5M would be more realistic, and that would be 1/4 of the entire state of New York.

                      I bet they mean half a million customers.

                      I know the damage is bad, but lets not over state it that bad.

                        Don't you know how news people work? They always extrapolate. Someone who has about 200 people on average in a week read their twitter feed is a blogger with over 10,000 viewers.

                          The total amount from this storm at peak I saw was 7.5M w/o power...

To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.

                                Why? It is an excellent post.
