Hey all - interesting afternoon in New York. Big steam explosion in Grand Central Terminal around 6pm this afternoon. I work on 46th & Lex (3 blocks away) - our office building lights went out and the building shook, looked out the window and saw people RUNNING down Lexington ave. Then Fire alarm came across the PA and told us to get out of the building. Exacuated the building and had to deal with 1000’s of people running around and no cell phone service (too busy). Walked 25 blocks to meet up with Laura - all is okay, we met and had dinner with Rob (blundaar) and his wife - great times and the beer was much needed after all that adventure. After a few hours all has returned to normal in the city - cabs and subways are back operating. I’ll post cell phone pics in the forum shortly - the smoke, steam and city wide panic was crazy - no words…

And wes - yes, I was up at 3am this morning, I spoke with Daniel on IM - he was heading to bed and I just got up

I heard from others who were in the city at the time of the explosion they got that dreaded feeling of terror. Not a nice feeling. Glad you and the fourth Tamale are ok.
