Sandy strikes
Three very loud explosions and power gone ..
But I’m not alone. There’s 7 million of us out of power now, and a big club.
Tonight feels eerie.. It’s creepy with the wind blowing listening to AM radio, prophets who predict doom and truck drivers who see gloom..

Tonight on Coast to Coast AM: Hurricane Coverage..
And on the program will be one of my favorite guests (mostly because he was a staple of Art Bell’s show): John Hogue. He is the Nostradomus expert. And if you read what he wrote about a year ago, he actually predicted some type of carnage and nation-paralyzing tropical storms. Maybe he was right? See his article here
If he wasn’t right, you’re still sure to hear George Noory mangle words and callers claim Bigfoot did it.
I sure miss Art Bell.
Here at Coal Speaker home base
The winds are truly ferocious right now. I am actively getting candles and flashlights ready.. My son is sleeping. It’s been a long evening waiting for these winds, but now it’s close to 60 to 70MPH gusts .. incredible power. Lights are flickering. I don’t believe I’ll be here much longer than this. Goodnight for now. Unless power is out for days, see you tomorrow.
AP reporting on NYC's dark night
The AP dispatch goes:
Much of New York was plunged into darkness Monday by a superstorm that overflowed the city’s historic waterfront, flooded the financial district and subway tunnels and cut power to nearly a million people.

Thank you for the fact check from THEPETE on the subway photo I posted that wasn’t technically the ‘subway’. And if you don’t follow THEPETE on Tumblr you should.
Someone earlier asked where the photo of the subway filling up was from
My best guest: Hoboken. See this yFrog image

The initial explosion at the Con Ed Plant, E14th and FDR.
And here is WHEN the lights DID go out on Broadway, and all of Lower Manhattan. Check out this video, fast forward to 3:10 minutes. Then the lights really went out..NYC 2012.

Different circumstance, I know. But Billy Joel’s song MIAMI 2017 (SEEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT ON BROADWAY) is hitting a nerve tonight.. Good lucky New York City.. and all others along the coast who are battered and bruised by the superstorm known as Sandy.

I cannot even believe my eyes.. Take a look at this image shot by A Burton of Getty Images. It’s water rushing into an underground parking garage in New York City. I am stunned at the sights.. Lots more images like this around the net tonight, including some amazing shots of lower Manhattan in the dark with power out.
