En-Route
Things are slowly improving here... had to drive about 15 miles north, get a truck, and come back to Newark to pick up stuff at the FedEx facility, and saw that some power's restored on the east side of town, north ward still looks blacked out, lots of traffic lights still inop, about 1/3 of the gas stations are open in the area. Near-chaos at the gas stations, with lots of people on foot swarming around with jerry cans. A lot of blackout areas still in Essex, Passaic, and Bergen counties. All rail transport around here is at a standstill.
As for NYC, they're imposing high-occupancy rules for all passenger vehicles entering Manhattan, and the BBT, Holland and Midtown tunnels are still closed, but a lot of subway service has been restored above midtown, I hear.
All three of the big hub airports are open, and some friends of mine are returning on a flight into KEWR today, on schedule... I'll be going to pick them up, and I'm glad it's only a couple of miles away.
