hang in there. stay online while you can, so we can stay with you. I'm 400 miles N/NE of NYC and the wind has been howling up here starting since about 3pm. All day I kept hearing a strange popping sound, like somebody hitting a baseball. It was a poplar tree that is splitting in half *vertically* from the top down. Each pop breaks it further. It'll be gone by morning I'm sure. And the big maple behind my house that Irene took a huge branch off...it's smaller branches started breaking off this evening. And the top half of big poplar broken almost off during Irene has been hanging since then...until this evening.
My point being, I cannot even begin to imagine what it must be like down where you are near ground zero...
Stay safe.
