I’m good. No power and living off a coleman grill radio and flashlight, but im safe.
Power at the office so im fine. Could be a lot worse considering im in the bronx/lower westchester and we got slammed too.
a nephew lives in Westchester, north of White Plains, in the Pleasantville/Briarcliff area
they are out of power, since Monday,
however, they have been out of power many times when we all (I’m in north Jersey) had the same storm, and they were the only ones I know who lost power
at least this time its only him and his wife, with two boys away at college and a daughter who just moved to Philly
I think I have won the arguments this time and will meet with an electrician at his house next week to discuss setting up a backup generator. When he is out of power, he is out of lights, heat, hot water, cooking & running water (well with an electric pump). He keeps rain barrels in the backyard for just these occasions, so they can at least flush the toilets.
I told him if he can pay the fortune he pays in property taxes - over $20,000, he can afford a backup generator.
