   Yes.  I was in my office in midtown.  Power went out.  We all starting   
   chatting / calling people.  I turned on my Walkman.  1010 WINS announced   
   they were running on generators / backup power.  Maybe ten minutes   
   later, they announced that the power was out in Toronto and Cleveland, too.   
   At that point, I knew it wasn't coming back any time soon, so made my   
   way home before it got dark.   
      
   I wish I had a digital camera with me.  I remember walking over the 59th   
   St bridge, and people who walked on the upper level were climbing down   
   the trusswork to avoid the long ramps...
