Here on the light side, everything seems normal. Long line of people by the empire state building, as there is every day. It's turning into a nice, sunny (but chilly) day. The main reminder of sandy here is the groups of refugees from the dark side, seeking outlets. Every starbucks I've walked by today is in pandemonium, with lines going out the door. People are plugging in everywhere – the drugstore I'm standing next to now, for example – more people are in line for the two outlets here than at the register.
