What's it like in the hurricane/tropical storm?

I'm looking at the Charging Bull Cam (on Wall Street in NYC) and seeing people in tourist mode strolling up to look at the big bull statue. The umbrellas are manageable and not turning inside out. The signs on the traffic lights are waving gently.

I got to that link from this set of links on my son John's blog. He's in lower Manhattan, and I thought he'd be off line because of power outages (and electricity conservation in anticipation of power outages), but there he is on IM. Hi, John!

He says: "barely even raining out."

ADDED: Actually, "electricity conservation in anticipation of power outages" doesn't make sense in the context of laptop computer and other rechargeable batteries. You can't get more charged than 100%, so if you keep it plugged in, there's nothing to do in anticipation of an outage.
