I am one of the lucky few with electricity tonight. My daughter is
still stuck on a Metro train in NY, trying to get home to Albany.

I hope she returns home safely.
As of now, everything looks pretty calm throughout the City.

***News Flash*** NBC just announced a report that lightning struck a

Thanks for your good wishes, Joe. My daughter is home, safe and
