NYC: The City that Just Keeps Going. Even After a Hurricane.

Tree that fell outside the apartment.




Sandbags

More sandbags

Police watching over the park




First flight cancelled

Second flight cancelled

Fallen trees being rounded up

Trash to be picked-up

Subway was free.  They closed off the normal entrances but opened the Emergency Exits to get in and out.


Streets being watched over

Deserted Streets


If you look carefully, you can see tape on the windows


Notes to Sandy










Closed Stores

More fallen trees

Electrical trucks working on getting power up and going



Small business owners know how to market

Below 25th Street, Whole Foods seemed to be one of the only stores with power...

Cinemas closed down

Empty Broadway


My signal was spotty.  Hard to send texts.

Lights getting ready to fill the streets at dark


Firefighters working hard.  All I know with this location was a guy did something in the basement with his own generators.  Some how it got the fire fighters to the apartment complex.  A guy standing buy kept saying "he was more interested in making money."  My imagination has gone crazy with that one...





Store with blown out window

Police directing traffic





Cemetery with broken tombstones


Lights in the financial district!

Freedom Towers

Pumping out water from basements and the subways


Generators supplying power




Blocking streets

News cameras showing the damage

Sand all over

More water being pumped out

Completely flooded tunnel

Water being pumped out with oil in it



If you look closely, you can see the water line of where the surge was when it flooded


A basement with water pouring out.  It was being pumped out.

Tunnel flooded

More sand


Statue of Liberty

Trees down

People fishing




No electricity on 23rd street.  Flares to guide traffic.

The dark area is 25th street.  The light is halfway up the block to 26th street where power had been restored.





We made a friend during the whole thing.
