We have power back, and a house, and we're all safe and sound - which is the MAIN thing, which unfortunately not everyone can say after this storm. But the Northeast is resilient! While it sucks to be without power, you can go far without seeing workers cutting trees, verizon pulling new lines, con-ed working on a transformer, people sweeping - people helping their neighbors, tractor trailers full of food - just everyone pitching in and helping one another. I'm not a real sociable person, but it's hard not to be when you end up at one of the only places around with power, and people are telling stories and offering help to one another.
NY sucks a lot, but when things get bad, the people drop all their harsh feelings and work together for some reason. Things will be rebuilt and almost everyone will get through this and move on, and then we can all fight again and hate one another! LOL
Much easier to fight for a subway seat when you aren't weakened from hunger!
