TERRITORIANS IN HURRICANE SHUTDOWN

New York : Latest information from Darwin firemen here as part of the 9/11 anniverary is that power is expected to be cut off soon in their accommodation near Times Square . The party was in one of the last planes into New York and during the flight there were a few medical emergencies among the passengers .Some have already been to ground zero . Weather was described as being like a rainy day in Darwin during the wet . The street wise Darwin firemen were about to load up with food from a nearby take away food outlet before the power cut .With lifts out , the firemen would have to walk to and from accommodation six floors up. Flooding expected in parts of the city. The claim that New York never sleeps is proving wrong as more and more parts close down. UPDATE : Little Darwin told by NY journalist that the blow was a damp scrib , despite some flooding, compared with a full-blooded Darwin thunderstorm.However, the hurricane is seen as a wake up to global warming as the high ocean temperature fed the tempest, enabling it to draw up huge amounts of moisture, and Texas is in the grip of a fierce drought .
