Explosion in the City
Huge Steam pipe Blast Kills One in NYC

I have been growing more and more frantic as the evening has been going on, because I never heard anything from The Husband, and Grand Central is right where he goes through on the subway. I thought at the very least he was trapped in the subway, and at worst, well...

It got later and later and later and I couldn't get through to his cell phone.

And then finally he called...

He's been doing surgery on a cat and didn't even know anything had happened in the city.

*gasp of relief*

But how he's going to get home tonight, and when, and what we're going to do about diner is a mystery to me.

Gratitude List:

1. He's safe.

2. The explosion wasn't terrorism.

3. More people weren't hurt.

4. He called before I did something like start calling hospitals.

5. I can relax now.

6. And the rest of the day was OK too except for getting drenched in the rain this morning.

EDITED TO ADD: I just got off the phone with The Kid, and she was in Manhatten today too! I am sooooo glad I didn't know that before I spoke to her! But she was out before the explosion, and didn't go through Grand Central.

Current Mood: relieved
