My part of Brooklyn is okay but they evacuated Red Hook, Coney Island and the Far Rockaways yesterday, as well as part of Lower Manhattan. Governor Cuomo just had a press conference, and kept saying, "Don't underestimate this storm." They're saying now, that it will be worse than Hurricane Irene, which caused evacuations and hit last summer when I was in Ecuador.
I'm sitting here with my outdoor furniture and bicycle stacked in the livingroom, since we all had to clear off our balconies. It's just windy out, and occasionally a weird structural noise will happen, or a white plastic bag will go floating up near my windows, which is sort of unnerving since I'm on the 9th floor.
