Seems the wind action here on the Westside was minimal; I have seen many pics of broken trees in the EV and Tompkins Square Park. Now the issue of flooding and tidal surges remains for this neighborhood.
I look out the window and see joggers. Nothing will stop them, apparently. I can also see about 3 feet of water on (the now closed?) Don Hill's roof. Not good. Somebody should have cleaned out those drains!
In this area the sea wall by the river is new and sturdy. Down at BPC and over in the Financial District that is not so. Plus the elevation there is slightly lower, so they are getting some flooding.
I am actually located in Zone A. But since Zone B begins right across the street, I did not feel it was necessary to evacuate. And had Zone B been ordered to leave, I would have done so.
So I stayed put last night. There was a big tub of basil I had to bring in from the fire escape, because I was afraid it would blow off. Last night, I harvested all the leaves and made pesto. Gorged on a huge pot of Farfalle al Pesto while watching the storm over the Hudson. Mmmmm!
