Hurricane Sandy: The Post-Show

Well, Rich and I survived Hurricane Sandy just fine yesterday. We mostly experienced high, loud winds and some light flickering here, but as I'm sure you all know others in parts of New York were not as lucky. My returned flight to Toronto has been cancelled for a second time and my stay here in New York has been extended to Saturday. Hopefully by then things will be up and running around here.

Pictures around uptown NYC:

A runaway pumpkin! 

Along Broadway several businesses had

signs or canopies torn off their facades. 

Large tree down on 101th and

Broadway. There were many 

trees like this in the area.

Many businesses are still closed (including -heaven forbid- 

Starbucks!). The ones that were able to open are getting

plenty of business today. 

The car that narrowly escaped 

the attack of the falling tree! 

As you may know all of the subways

are closed here - a strange sight to see.

Unusual sight: empty Apple Store.

Signs down along Broadway.

The now infamous dangling crane. 

All parks including Central Park are closed. Many runners

took to jogging up and down Broadway instead. 

Sad to see some beautiful trees in Central Park

destroyed by the winds.
