Just to add a few points:

All VHF TV stations except for CBS 2 are off the air, many radio stations
are off the air, and it's largely impossible to get a call in.  All
bridges and tunnels are closed (which I assume includes the PATH).

A horrible thing to wake up to...  could see the smoke out my bedroom
