John and I met Mikey at MogerMedia to retrieve the key computers from the office. The experience of walking through the building was other-worldly. There’s no emergency lighting. There’s nothing moving in the building. John and I made our way up the back stairs and found Mikey waiting with the CPUs in the hallway. Our audio and video station PCs and the main servers were ready to go. We also got Paula’s PC and the iMac on which she organizes most of our projects. This means that we could commence business elsewhere if need be. Tomorrow will be the time for those decisions.
The good news is the building is standing solid. No leaks, no lost windows, no sign of damage. We made it through far better than many. Our partners over at CBS Radio, for instance, said there are no elevators in their building since the mechanisms on the roof were damaged during the storm. It’s a short 19-story walk up and down to reach their facility. At the height of the storm, one of the on-air staff got motion sickness from the rocking of the building. Suddenly the second floor of our diminutive four-story building seems so much nicer.
