We lost power, but were fortunate to have it come back on about four
hours later.

My power finally came back on at around 01:30. Interestingly, 2 blocks
north, 2 blocks south and 1 block east had power by 22:00.

Go figure.

Find a news truck with a satellite dish, CNN, FOX, CBS, etc. Hijack the
truck - drive it around the corner and post back to rec.aviation*. They must
have some sort of satellite-internet uplink *somewhere* in there with all of
those wall mounted TV monitors.

Newsgroups aren't an obsession or even an addiction, I would call it more of
an acquired taste.

BTW, that "out east" is kind of a slight to the people who are without
power. It extends to the west as far as (and apparently started in
Ohio). It also covers a good portion of lower Michigan

Roger, any point east of California is out east to some!

I had dropped into Sky Manor Airport (N40) just before 4:00 for a drink
(diet Coke) after flying up the Hudson with a couple of friends. A few
minutes after 4:00 the lights went out for no more than 10 seconds and then
came back on. We took off a bit later and when we got back to Somerset
(SMQ) found out that most of the Northeast was blacked out. We had power at
home. My next door neighbor got home from the City around nine having taken
one of his company's helicopters from Manhattan to Newark. His company was
charging $200 for a ride from Manhattan to EWR! Who says you can't make a
small fortune in aviation?

All it takes to make a small fortune in aviation is to start out with
a big one. At $200 in a normal business helicopter they probably
weren't even covering the variable costs.
