THERE IS NO SUN.
Swam. Saw a bunch of my evening regulars. We all agreed swimming first thing is a weird experience.
Had maybe a slight flicker. And it isn't even bad yet. Uhg. msbelle, I sent you my numbers. Pls send me yours.
I'm gonna use you as my non-stormy proxy if/when I lose power.
I am trying to view live streaming cameras in NYC and having difficulty getting them to load.
Timelies all!
I'm home, since the government is closed. I've been to the supermarket, though I don't have a lot of non-perishable food.
The con was great(and I danced with a snake-no, not like that:) ). My flight out of Columbus was supposed to leave at 7:25 pm last night, and finally left at 10 pm. Oddly enough, it was weather delays. A VIP flew in around the time my plane was reaching the airport, and it took long enough that the plane had to divert to Detroit to refuel.
Still, I did better than my friends who were supposed to fly out today. (Not to mention the friend who was supposed to fly back to NY yesterday)
OK- I am about to start walking and get some peanut butter and a flashlight!
I guess I should get my burrito for lunch and not plan for dinner, since it's supposed to get worse here in the afternoon.
THERE IS NO SUN.
True! But if the power does go out and is out for a few days it can be used after the storm when the sun comes out again.
Provided, of course, this isn't an End Times storm and the sun does actually come out again!
Yes Jesse you should do that. Ok, I have the bull statue cam up and running. I figure that is about the lowest lying area I can get a view of.
I just saw this on my sisters FB feed - FDR drive is underwater:

So far things in my part of Brooklyn are not that bad, but of course I haven't been outside. There hasn't been much rain at all in NYC so far so all the water is coming from the storm surge and I'm pretty far inland. My main concern is projectiles - the wind is VERY strong and gusty, and I know at least some of my neighbors did not bring in their Halloween decorations. (The mosque next door still has patio furniture on their roof deck FFS.)
And George Takei just shared this one of flooded Battery Park:

My stomach is unhappy. I think it is half swim+coffee first thing and half anxiety manifesting.
