Title: Scary-How's everybody in Staten Isle Area
Post by Hound_Dogg on Feb 21^st, 2003, 12:43pm

Went outside of work to catch a smoke...and I saw a huge plume of smoke coming from the NY City area....Scared the hell outta me. I immediately turned on the radio and called my wife. (Smoke was coming from exactly the same direction as it was on 9/11.) Found out it was a huge tanker or barge explosion right off Staten Island. Looks like it was just an accident. Hope everybody is ok up there. Let us know how it's going...

I live in Staten Island and work about 4 miles from there. I was just walking in the door when the ground shook, saw a hugh, hugh black cloud which seemed to be right above my house (though it wasnt). Knocked all the phone lines out, no cell phones were working either. It was a little scary until we were able to hear on the radio what happened.
You would have thought boss would have let us go home. ::) yea right.
Anyways, thanks for the concern. This Staten Islander is fine. ;)
