This is what I was able to read on the TV screen in just the last 10 minutes or so.
Not surprisingly MakeupAlley is down! It was probably due to the explosion of a huge transformer in NYC. I can't even get on the CNN website at the moment.
There are many people who are probably considering rehab at this moment since the site has been down for close to an hour and a half and I can only imagine the reactions of members when it's back up and running.
Totally unimportant! The main thing is, hopefully people are safe and stay safe.
In Montreal we can feel the winds but they are nothing like what our US neighbors are getting.
No MUA, what to do? Read, write a blog, snuggle up with your darlings, humans and non-humans. In other words, get a life! Not being glued to the computer can be quite liberating.
I do sincerely hope everyone is safe! *Hugs* to all who are living it.
I've hit the MUA button at least 3 times and get so confused when it just keeps spinning :0 ... I thought it was just my computer at first but then I remembered the hurricane!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure you where not the only one to be wondering. At first I didn't make the connection but seeing the explosion of the transformer on CNN that's when I figured everything went down. Here so far there are only some winds & light rain. I can't imagine how it must be like in the most hit areas. :(
ReplyDeleteHi.. it's YogaCrunch from MUA. I thought I would leave message here because I know you are wondering what is going on.
ReplyDeleteI have power n water, luckily I am more uptown, and most of damage was in downtown area. No subway and mass transit here, so most of people stays home yesterday and today.. and also tomorrow. It will take a while for all the damages to be resolved.
Glad to hear Canada didn't get affected by storm much. TTYL
I'm so glad to know you're OK! Thank you so much for the update. I've been seeing images on CNN that made my heart hurt. So many people affected by this it's just horrible. Again, happy to know you're fine.
