Some lights and power are coming back on in NY as we speak. You can see lights in buildings now.

Probably a hospital with its own generators or a building with emergency lights still working.

I think it's an overburdened system with too many people running airconditioners

Oh you're no fun any more (Python skit).

These were skyscrapers and it looked like rooms were well lit on a few floors. So yeah, it could be generators. But CNN did say "some power coming back on".

Haven't you heard of "lightening from a clear blue sky"?

Best Moses voice I can muster:

"YOU SHALL SEE HAIL FALL FROM A CLEAR SKY, AND BURN AS FIRE UPON THE GROUND!"

How's that?
