alt Hacker NewsI mean this with love, but dude, you put your health (short term and long term) at risk over a web app? I think you need to reassess your life priorities. You work so that you can live and enjoy life. You don’t live just to be a worker.
There is no reason that they couldn’t have had more than 1 DC when Sandy hit.

I hear you, and agree with your spirit. I never felt in danger and was choosing my risks throughout the day. I'd also see folks working much more dangerous jobs than me all throughout FiDi trying to handle cleanup.
I guess it helps that I grew up in a rural place and did construction for a while, so lugging gas to a generator wasn't a new thing for me.
Also I was... 25? I'd be more cautious today, I think.
Life priorities are not static, when faced with once in a lifetime scenarios they will change very quickly. Rational thought during emergencies often goes out the door.
Not everyone is built the same, thankfully.
