@Jackass8743: It did. In fact I was like 5 during the incident in Brooklyn, just before I moved down to Florida where I live now.

How did they broadcast this with no power? Only on radios?

[TJAYankees1]

I remember this. I was without power for about 2 days. It was sort of fun but I'm glad it wasn't too long.

Oh god, I remember this well. My family had no power for 2 1/2 days, and it was interesting too. People actually came outside and acknowledged their neighbors and had fun with each other, my neighbor had a small block-wide party during the outage.

Good times, even though we had to use car radios for music.
