The Blackout Blues

And God said "Let there be light!" - I suppose Con Edison had a problem with that one. - The private journal of Brian Sheahan. It's the hottest summer on record and New York City has gone dark. Communications go down, EMS, Police and The Fire Department are flying deaf and blind. Subways halt in tunnels, traffic and street lights are out! Tempers grow short, and people panic at the thought of another terrorist attack... Brian, Mel, Brooklyn, and the rest find themselves in the middle of it. "Like the man said," said Mel, "Hell is one floor up". Based on Actual EMS accounts of the 2003 East Coast Blackout.
