Blackout! Blackout! Blackout!
It’s 9:45AM on Tuesday, and I’m at work up on the 24th floor, and in the middle of nowhere Queens, about 10-12 miles walking distance from my home, if I walk through Brooklyn to get there. I’m wondering if and when a power outage might occur, thereby making me walk either to school, on the Upper East Side, or walk home, on the other side of Brooklyn. I have my flashlight, a hat, and a bottle of water for my journey. I think tomorrow I will bring in my sneakers and leave them in case of evacuations.
Think I’m crazy? The building was evacuated a couple of Wednesdays ago, no more than a minute or two after I left to go to school at 1PM. It remained closed the next day. That Wednesday the AC wasn’t on good, much like today, and only 2 elevators from each bank were working. I won’t be surprised if it all goes off this week, and definitely won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t.
