Hunkering Down With Sandy

The warnings are over and Sandy is about to arrive. The city and most surrounding municipalities wisely shut everything down well in advance of the storm and now all we can do is sit and wait.

I happened to be driving across the state yesterday and counted more than 100 utility trucks making their way east - from Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and other points west. Sadly, they likely will not be enough to keep millions from being without power for extended periods.

We won't know the business impact, of course, for quite some time. But the pricetag will be in the millions of dollars for sure.

The worst should happen overnight, so until then, hunker down and be safe.
