Thanks for a good description of the circumstances. I wish you well and pray for your comfort and of those in your situation as you struggle with the aftermath.

Yeah, that Marathon is a pisser. They should take all the cops and all the runners and have them knock on every door below 29th Street to see if everyone is OK. Many probably are in trouble by now. How long can a bathtub full of water and a couple flashlights last?

Great post and great escape .. Plus the excellent touch of offering neighbors rides !

There must be tens of thousands in their shoes .. simple no place else to go.

Having a bionic leg myself (titanium rod/screws) and being of similar age, I can certainly empathise.
Damned hardware hangs onto the cold, not to mention playin' hell with metal detectors   ;-)

Anyway, good news that you're out and with family .. Cheers

After reading this thread and about the deteriorating conditions in the NE, I’m believing more and more that the study on the affects of an EMP that concluded that 90% of the population would be dead within a year, is pretty close to being accurate. When I first heard of that conclusion, I just couldn’t believe it, but after observing Katrina’s and now Sandy’s aftermath, yeah, I believe it. The majority of the American population has become so dependent upon the grid for their daily sustenance and very life, that disabling that grid is like writing a death sentence for many, because they know not the first thing about having to fend for themselves, even in a short term situation.
