Boston didn't get hit as bad as NYC but they seemed really well prepared. Even while the rain was still coming down and the wind was blowing quite hard they had clean-up crews out clearing fallen limbs from our street! I am officially impressed. I think our subway stations may be pumped out and the tracks cleared by tomorrow morning but it sounds as if New York has a bit bigger job to do to get the subway back on line. Preparedness was ecellent and we really lucked out to the storm weakening faster than expeted. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
