Heavy Rain, Wind, Cause NYC to Implode

On Monday it rained in NY, after two days of 100+ degree weather. It rained kinda hard, and it was a little windy. Ok, there was lightning, thunder - it could be called a storm. People around the area lost power, trees fell. It created a bit of a stir.

It's okay for us to understate the impact. However, can someone tell us how Con Edison managed to underestimate the number of homes without power in Queens by 23,000 homes? And better yet, why it took them four days to figure it out?

It rained again today and the number 5 train cannot function. There is no service to the city's hinterlands, aka the Bronx. Because it rained. Holmes said taxes bought civilization. Wrong.
