Yup, it was really loud. Something about sounded slightly different than the usual "steam release" and the sirens immediately after were a bit alarming. <br /><br />It's interesting that ConEd gets away with doing these "steam releases" without really explaining what's going on. Why did the fire trucks show up? Why do they have to do these "steam releases" in the middle of the night? Remind me again why they have to suddenly release steam?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6947368742574990222011-12-09T17:33:11.712-05:002011-12-09T17:33:11.712-05:00Im in Stuy Town at 14th and C, directly across fro...Im in Stuy Town at 14th and C, directly across from the ConEd plant. When it woke me up, the steam coming out of the plant had multiplied a lot. About five fire trucks came about 15 minutes in, but they didn't do too much, and left about 10 minutes later, soon after the noise died down and the smoke release stopped. Don't know what happened- just saw this stuff out of my window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14296478589640215292011-12-09T16:59:59.051-05:002011-12-09T16:59:59.051-05:00slept in queens last night so i didn't hear it...slept in queens last night so i didn't hear it. <br />but maybe all the ihop and starbucks patrons got together in a circle, held hands and farted together.glammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-28411411775744642402011-12-09T15:51:35.162-05:002011-12-09T15:51:35.162-05:00I heard it too!
