I can see why they'd want to keep that out of the feeds. I was also hearing last night of yes/no reports that the nyse had water on the trading floor.
I bet!
In regards to Nuclear sites, the BBC reported this morning that there is a site on the coast (one of the oldest sites?) that had gone to alert due to rising waters.

Morning everyone, as of 6am...
Flood waters reside in Ocean City, NJ but the damage has been done.
Total people without power is currently sitting at 8.9 million
Davis, WV gets 18" of snow
USCG crew member pulled from the water after abandoning ship has died
80% of Westport, CT without power
98% of NYC still without power
Updated the photobucket site with more pictures as I get ahold of em
I haven't hear anything on the plants either by TV or the feeds I'm getting from TWC and the hurricane center so I'm guessing their ok, except for that one substation I video linked that exloded, causing NYC to go completely without power. I think the ES has their own back up supply as it was the only one lit.
wanting to go down to NYC in complete darkness reminds me something out of I Am Legend. I woulda loved to have grabbed some pictures myself instead of relying on routers for em.

Great! I'll assume the nuclear power plants in Sandy's path are fine.

Stay safe Logan, looks pretty hairy on the tellybox, so goodness knows what it must be like to be there.
Oh yeah I know, I'd be down there reporting it live but no truck. There's an amount of adrenalin that comes with this kind of stuff.

I doubt it'll be a hurricane. It'll come and go, give it a month and people will forget about it till it comes up in conversation.

I'd hate to be out on the boardwalk
I predict a temporary network difficulty drop caused by power outages due to hurricane Sandy.
I doubt it...
