BUFFALO, NY – Ten years ago today. My wife shovels, I watch and take pictures. Hahaha.
The night before… we listened to what sounded like explosions– the limbs popping off trees in the park.
The storm was bad, the aftermath was far worse.
For the next two weeks, I was reporting during the day, and then was on the air doing live talk overnights on WBEN, keeping people company and being a voice in the dark to the cold and lonely.
People still mention to me that they listened on those nights. I remember the anguish and fear in some of the voices on the other end of the phone. I consider it my finest hour as a broadcaster and a Buffalonian to have helped a few people through a rather prolonged scary time.
