Ten Years Ago

Just a quick post-
It was just ten years ago (August 14, 2003) that almost 80% of Northeast US power consumers lost their electricity. A tree branch, they say, fell on a power line in Ohio, and the tsunami effect took over.
There were lots of stories of communities pulling together and heroics under adverse conditions, but one of the most striking images to come out of the event was the one above.
Because Lady Liberty is on my mind, and especially the little known nuts and bolts of her daily life, I wanted to share this.
She has her own diesel generator, and in this case, gave the huddled masses something to look to in more ways than one.
