It’s hard to believe that in 2006, the US power companies have not figured out how to keep power on during storms. Hello! Aren’t smart businesses supposed to anticipate challenges and design solutions to solve them? The major challenge for any power company would be a storm. I am just extremely surprised and disappointed that Con Edison hasn’t devised a strategy to prevent long-term periods of no power. They should be ashamed of themselves. The power has been out for over 5 days and predicted to be out through the weekend. I feel for my friends in Queens. Last weekend, during my DC trip, I was staying at my friend, Tinesha’s, house and her air conditioning stop working. I felt like I was in hell - literally. It was like 90 some degrees plus humidity which made it feel like 100+ degrees. Being hot makes me irritable. All I could do was sit very still next to a fan and think cool thoughts. I was miserable. Although I was going to miss my friend and DC, I was happy to get my butt into the air conditioned car headed back home to my air conditioned, no to low humidity, Los Angeles! Stay cool NYC!
