Yes you did. June 2012, power outages from hell, in some cases weeks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 17:21 9
- Must have missed us or I just don't remember it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 17:22 8
  - We had Superstorm Sandy but I don't remember that name being used in conjunction with the storm. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 17:23 1
    - Not a derecho. It was tropical storms/hurricanes that joined up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 17:24
  - Could be. It was hell in DC area. The cause was a heatwave, so, we were living in the same heatwave with no power. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 17:23 5
    - Ugh! No A/C in a heat wave is my nightmare. I've been bitching about Con Ed recently because of power outages. - Krusty Aug 11, 17:27 4
      - Here's the story about the derecho. I was definitely posting that night and so was Max. It was SCARY. The most violent thunderstorm I ever saw. - loosilu Aug 11, 17:34 2
        
        Damn! That sounds so bad and when it was 104 is just awful. - Krusty Aug 11, 17:48 1
        
        we definitely talked about it here, but it's natural to forget if you weren't affected. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 17:52
      - When I say heat wave, I mean 100 and humid as a bathtub. I've been thru NYC heat waves too. They suck in different ways. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 17:28
