19 years - how time flies.  We lived in one of the sections of
Brooklyn that wasn't directly hit by the great blackout, but it
was scarier that way.  Consider how you would feel if suddenly
all the TV and radio stations went out for no apparent reason
(hmmm where is the nearest fall-out shelter).  Eventually we tuned
in to one of the neighboring radio stations and found out what was
going on.  (Remember, these were the days when you didn't just have
fire drills in school - you had nuke drills... "Class, take cover".

PS:  I also remember it was my sister's first day at work. She was one
of the lucky ones stuck on the D train for hours.
