Worst Storm in Years Batters New York City
We certainly picked the best time to be in New York. The record rain batters New York City in the past 2 days. On Sunday a record 5.5 inches rain fell on Central Park, beating the previous record set in 1902 (!).
I was totally drenched yesterday and did not have my backpack with me, it was not fun. After over 10 phone calls with incompetent Virgin Atlantic baggage claim department, my bag arrived.
It was a really painful and excruciating experience. I suspect the call centre is located in India and often the phone connection is pretty bad. Twice I called and they said the system is down arghh .. Anyway I won't go more on the litany of problems with Virgin's baggage handling department or their delivery contractors (which Virgin didn't even have their phone number the first time I called them), my backpack is here now. I'm so going to claim all my essential purchase in the past 3 days to Virgin.
On another news, the worst US shooting rampage just happened. It's terrible, mood is not good here in the hostel.
