In 65? I was still on LI in 65, so, ya, I remember it. Not to mention the subsequent "baby boom," although I've never bothered to check to see whether that's fact or urban myth. ;-)

We had a lesser variant during Hurricane Sandy, which we rode back into from NC where my SO was visiting her older brother in the hospital. (He didn't come out.  ) I live in the area of Manhattan that was below 34 St and without power, so we camped out for a week with a friend in Brooklyn who had power till we could go back home.
