Weathered it well; I still have mostly power, no home net connection, leeching bandpass at work to write this.
I haven't made a final decision yet - it's going to depend in part on when I get net back - but I'm leaning toward doing a double issue for December, and skipping November - there's no telling how long it'll take to clean up communications links in this area, and I was pretty much in the heart of the storm.
There's a lot of disruption in the area, but I came through surprisingly unscathed - we lost one leg of the three-phase power from the street, and SOME of my outlets are out - but the lights and the refrigerator are still on. No hot water, and no net connection, but landline telephone is OK. Cell service is spotty, and where the spots are depends on which network you're looking at - where I am, there's strong Verizon signal, weak AT&T with no 3G or 4G, and nothing from Sprint or T-Mobile.
There's already partial transit restoration, but no telling how long until full restoration.
Manhattan below 39th Street has no power unless the building has a generator.
Like with Irene last year, we know we got hit - but this year, we apparently had a better plan; we're already far more recovered - in some respects - after little more than a day than we were weeks after Irene.
I'll be back when I get back; it's going to depend on factors clearly out of my control - but I'm definitely OK!
