    At least three people were killed Monday:

    one of the power stations headquarters has had a power failure. They have cut power to lots of areas to try and save equipment, but in some of the webcams, or youtube clips, you can see transformers blowing!

    Governor Dan Malloy of Connecticut advising people who didn't evacuate when they were told and are now surrounded by water to either go to the next floor or the roof of the house or if not yet surrounded by water to make for high ground as quickly as possible. He said it is a Katrina situation for them. :(

    I'm watching the weather channel live coverage (with loooooong add breaks!) and browsing boards.ie, Reuters live blog, twitter and American weather. I may have a problem....

    I flicked onto BBC News and had a bit of a chuckle. Stiff upper lip, the relatively docile weather forecast over Wales was being broadcast.

    CNN tickers everywhere, Sky not too different, BBC the home forecast is scheduled and it must be played:)


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    5 dead in NY

    I've found this to be the best live reporting. They have reporters all over the city and decent interviews.

    ETA: FFS! As soon as I post it, it becomes unavailable after having been brilliant for the last 24 hours - sods law. :(

    Back again. :)

    It's weird out there now. It can be calm for 1 minute and then suddenly gust like crazy.

    Streets are empty. Bars still full.

    I'm up on 57th street and if it wasn't for the telly then you'd just think that was a windy day.
