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.
Wasn't the case in '77


***News Flash*** NBC just announced a report that lightning struck a
Niagara Mohawk powerplant, causing the cascade. What?????

Funny, the weather records don't show any storm activity near the plant.
