Ker-yikes.

I'm glad you're okay, sweetie.

Thanks. It was honestly more frustrating than anything else, but the lightning bits were not fun.

I'm also glad that you are OK.

As for the rest, I got announcements that the T was having a "power problem" and was diverting the Red Line to buses from Harvard to JFK and diverting the Orange Line to the Green Line from North Station to Copley/Back Bay.

At Quincy Center they were admitting that there was a fire, which many people remarked on as unusual. It was described as being at "Downtown Crossing and South Station", which sounds scarily extensive.

Apparently there were two fires - one at South Station and one at Chinatown - both of which effected Downtown Crossing. I'm unclear as to whether they actually *spread* to Downtown Crossing, but at the least the smoke build-up choked Downtown out of commission.

Eek.

D and I were at Kendall when it happened, so it was not nearly as exciting for us. We got down to the platform, and the T worker was like, "station's closed," and we were like, "hrm, ok." And then we had beers. I'm glad you made it home safe!

Thanks! I was happy to finally get home.

Also, I like beer as a reaction to diverted service. :)

Weirdo. It's as if you like me or something. :)
