Well, otoh, I haven't been reading all new posts on rpch+b, so don't feel
too bad. <g>

A little; not much, but that's right here - it varied widely - very
sporadic.  A friend less than a mile down the street was w/out power,
whereas at my house the power must've gone out very briefly,  'cause my
computer'd shut down & was coming back up, and my phones were out, but otoh
the clocks weren't blinking, nor was the microwave, VCR etc. - they were all
fine.  I had a brownout for a bit, but full power came back quite quickly,
so  I was lucky.

I was thinking that it's a good thing it was a clear night last night Vs.
raining, otherwise all of those peole who slept out on the sidewalks in the
city would've been extra miserable.  I was also wondering how many peolple
thought to sleep in Central Park - on a bench, or in the Sheep Meadow, say,
instead of on a hard sidewalk.
