rudeboyyouth Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 At first, I thought I may have missed a LIPA payment or something. After driving in my car for a few minutes, however, I soon realized that the problem was wide-spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn i feel for you... it took us 2 and a half hours to get home... we had very little gas and none of the stations were working so that was the main fear but at least were able to crack the windows (no ac cause it uses to much power) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrrr Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 i never thought i would say this but i am glad i live in SI only because we have a ferry to get there if you can't take the exp. bus, i was @ work when it happened, i thought it was just the building where i work until my co-worker told me that it was all the boroughs and then someone else told me it was all the eastern states! i left, since i work on washington and horatio, downtown manhattan i walked to the ferry, took the bus in SI and got home safely what is everyone doing today?? i have a long weekend also if anyone is going to the beach i was told not to go in the water since it has been filtered, something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stuck in an elevator once and that was not fun...especially since the elevator had a huge window and the sun was hitting directly at us and we were stuck on the 22nd floor of the building. I thought I was gonna pass out from the heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
