The mess

Well everyone, we made it through another hurricane smacking into New York. We felt sure we would lose power, our lights were flickering, power was going out around us, and the wind was really  howling. But our building held out. It seems most of Astoria was better off than other parts of the city. Our biggest problem seemed to be cabin fever. Many of our friends and coworkers are still without power and we are all trying our best to be patient with slow returns to subway service.

On Tuesday afternoon we went for a walk around Astoria and to the river. We avoided all puddles!

Water levels were already down
On our block

Now we are faced with a fuel shortage and trying to get to Long Island for a wedding tonight. This is sure to be interesting.
