It could have been far, far worse. But, there really wasn't anything to survive. We sat around, we listened to the radio, some folks in NYC had to walk a bit to get home, or maybe they're stuck there now, but they're certainly not in terrible danger.

Getting stuck anywhere without any working stop lights is in itself fairly dangerous and I would say a lot of people were not in a good place to have the power go out when they were driving. My friend got stuck in New Jersey and had to drive to New York. The last time this type of power outage happened the cops did not have much control over the looting and other crimes going on. Of course it did happen a while back though.
