It was hurricane sandy. Pretty much wiped out parts of New Jersey, Staten and Long Islands, Far Rockaway, a piece of downtown Manhattan (where I live) and started some hardcore fires that took out whole neighborhoods in Queens.
My building is solid so I was ok (though a powerplant nearby had a bunch of conduits that exploded) we lost all out utilities and most of the food in the area was either contaminated or waterlogged (they're still clearing out markets)
it got so bad i had to leave the city for a few days. Everything is up and running but I (and most other people here) can't vote because we're about to be hit with another (much much smaller) storm, the need for food has people hitting up every market that got a shipment today, and the fact that most of the polling sites are closed means theres confusion among districts, misinformation and just too many people at each site.
Still it could be a lot worse, I made a run to Staten Island with some military rations and water to give out and theres parts that got totaled. House burnt down, then swept away by water, then looted, its like escape from New York.
As for work, couldn't get much done to be honest, I'm now finally able to verify my builds and have my vita running TiBC again. Its on track for this summer with an announcement in about march and a playable demo in the spring.
I also started building long terms solutions for development, so once TiBC ep 1 is finished, free DLC and more episodes will come out faster and have more shit in em. (plus it'll make development of other games WAYYYY easier)
