Since this is one of the few places in which I'll be able to ask this question (I don't really know that many people in the US) I figured I may as well see how anyone who might live in the affected area how they are doing. I really hope that none of the forumites have been caught up in all the drama.
If you got any interesting news or links, share them here too.

...Also, sorry for being away for so long. I'd actually forgotten my password.
