new yorkers have such an overgrown sense of self-importance, as if the whole was hanging on the restoration of their power from a relatively miniscule outage.
We can have 40,000 without power due to a good wind storm and nobody notices.
Back to NYC ... if there was a transformer fire, there might have been birds or squirrels running around there that are now crispy critters.
Hopefully not some non paying customer whose power was cut off at the pole trying some DIY stuff.
