I was at my internship in NYC when the power went out...actually, I was going to the bathroom! I stayed in the stall for a few minutes thinking the power would go on, but it never did. So I got out of the bathroom and went into the office to find out what was going on and found out about the blackout. Then I walked down the 12 flights of stairs into the masses of people pouring out into the sidewalks and streets. I ended up walking from Madison Ave. and 55th Street to Port Authority to see if there were going to be any buses running anytime soon. But I was surrounded by thousands of other people, and started to feel a lil claustrophobic and decided to make the long trek to my dad's office all the way on 14th Street and Irving Place. To make the long story short, I slept uncomfortably on two chairs in my dad's office since I was stranded in NYC until the morning. Then my dad and I took the path home around 11am the next day. Although I had to sleep in NYC, I was fortunate enough to have a place to pass out that night, unlike those who were forced to sleep on the streets.
