And we thought we had it bad.
I empathise for anyone stuck in a major city without power. It truly is not until it really happens that you realise just how much of the infrastructure and network around you depends upon that power.
Hundreds of thousand of people simply couldn't get home. No Tube and the roads became gridlocked due to the lack of traffic signals. Buses were jam packed and not going anywhere fast.
I don't imagine that being stuck in New York after dark with minimal forms of lighting is all together a pleasant experience.
