The Moment of Truth ... Ellie Reporting on Hurricane Sandy from Zone C
11:30am Brooklyn update: Rain and wind - nothing interesting yet, as it is too early - the weather man just reporting that winds will be gusting at 50mph in 6 hours. George sent this about the upcoming Mercury retrograde election. "Think about this -- if millions of people lose power for over a week and can't use the electronic voting machines, how does that affect the outcome of the election? Will elections be postponed?" I actually just watched a small boat race by on the water ... seriously... Hopefully it was coast guard or like that. My day so far ... I was up at 6am and decided to make it a "Twilight" marathon day. So far, I watched parts 1-3 with part 4 coming up after this break, or as long as Time Warner and Con Ed are still working. Back later ... I have a wedding to attend ...
6:30am - Brooklyn is calm before the storm. The city is basically deserted and at a standstill, mass transportation shut down. The only thing one hears are the winds gusting up and the occasional sounds of emergency vehicles on the street below. We are braced and ready .... watching the news and following the storm as if an apocalyptic movie. This is a complicated storm with many facets to it, so anything goes.
