Don't know how extensive this loss of power is, will let you know in a bit. Need to go make calls to check on my elderly neighbors and look out the windows. I hear lots of police, firefighters etc. So far only car lights are on. Will investigate, and conserve my battery power for updates.

Update: treo blogging - still no power almost 12 hrs later. Power Co. says it will take at least 24hrs to restore power. so we're sitting in the living room trying 2 rest from sleeplessness due to heat.

all trains in nyc are affected. at least I'm well prepared & have enough emergency supplies to stay put.

Urban scenes of desperation in high temps are not pretty. I'm focusing my energy on praying for a breeze.

Update: It's been 24 hrs without power. Water was finally restored at about 4:00pm. I had fortunately stored enough water for cooking, rinsing and toilet flushing (oh joy!). Anyway, I'll be treo/cellphone/picture blogging at blogger as it's easier for me to blog directly from my cell: POSTCARDS FROM NYC
