My Saturday 10.28.06 (please read, its long but it may help your family out in an emergency!!)
Dh's alarm went off at 8:30am EDT so of course Baby Brooklyn and I wake up too. We are talking and laughing about who loves BK the "mostest" and all of a sudden....we hear the loudest bang which shakes the whole neighborhood.
Dh convinces me its thunder and lightening although in my heart I knew it was not thunder. I begged him to stay home with Baby Brooklyn and he finally obliged.
9:25 am: I grab my umbrella and head accross the street to get bright green Tinkerbell nails.
9:55 am: I walk from the nail salon to Starbuck's and see the Fire Dept and Nassau County. At this point they are blocking the sidewalk between TWO Stores.
10:15am: I hand DH his Starbuck's and I am telling him about how it was a transformer that blew up and now manholes were starting to blow.
10:20am: We all hear a fireman on a bullhorn screaming " If you can hear this hit the floor. NOW!!! HIT THE FLOOR!!!!" So I do and DH laughs at me like I am a fool.Then we hear a BANG! and glass shattering...and the whole city shakes this time. I look out the window and the nail salon I just left no longer has a window by where I was sitting!! My dh looks at me and says, "Code Blue (our key word to know this is for real and we need to get out stat)" I get Baby BK ready, grab my rings, some $ and my DEJR autograph (there is a 2+ yr wait to get a new one, I could not risk that).
Twelve hours later we were aloud back in, had we stayed we would have been exposed to carbon monoxide and other lethal stuff. Our code word to know it was not a joke and we needed to get out STAT may have saved our lives. Does your family have a plan to get out when it counts?

Emily I am so glad that you and DH, and your puppy are okay. That must have scared the sh*t out of you guys. The code word thing is an excellent idea and I agree something every family should have.
(BTW:had to crack that you saved DEjr )

No code word, other than "let's get the fvk out of here"...something similar's happened to us, it was awful.
So glad to hear you're all OK! And that your EDJR autograph is safe!
And I had no idea you had a baby Brooklyn. I do too. Best name ever!

Glad everything worked out. Every home should have a carbon monoxide detector too you can buy one for about $25. My Mom gave us a code word as kids so even people we knew had to know it to pick us up from anywhere.
