Here’s a video of Manhattan’s utility provider, Con Ed, where you can see a rather large explosion around (:17) followed by a noticeable power loss. Con Ed provides electric, gas, and steam services to NYC

In this video, you can see heavy wind is causing a disturbance of some kind. Pretty much someones wall blows away like dust.  Very brave firefighters taking action.

 

The anchor in this coverage put it best, “You can see a guy..on his jet ski..IN HURRICANE SANDY!”
Not really chaos but the video is still relevant.
