The impact of this storm across nearly the entire east coast is why it’s getting so much media coverage. When’s the last time any hurricane came through such a huge portion of the eastern US? ---

The company i work for apparently uses more electricity than the whole city of niagara falls. The ny power authority paid us 20k per hour to shutdown today. I guess they put some reactors on low load on 5 mile island and there isnt enough power to run NYC. ---

I was in Harrisburg/Hershey PA and we caught the tail end of it overnight last night. Bunch of NYC/NJ evacuees at our hotel. Crazy wind and sideways rain, was dodging tree shit down everywhere all over the roads coming back from the bar, and lost power at the hotel all night. Still out when we left at 11am today. ---

Sounds like the areas that were worst hit were the ones that the news didn’t hype up at all. Vermont looks like it’s getting really fucked up. ---
