Coastal areas of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are being ordered to evacuate. I have lived in NYC for 54 years and have never seen the likes of this preparation. They didn't shut down MTA after 9/11, even though it destroyed a subway station. But they're shutting it down for Irene. I gotta wonder how much of this is mother nature and how much is politics?
Anyway, they sure have my attention. Irene is a Cat3 (Katrina was Cat5), but she's HUGE and moving slowly. We may all be hunkering down for several days. I made a big pot of pasta, have a flashlight, a transistor radio, extra batteries, and a tub full of water. I'm worried about my son vacationing with family in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. I'm worried about a friend who lives on a boat. I'm worried about folks in this city that are homeless, I'm worried about my elderly parents, (though they aren't in a flood zone). I'll be happy when this is over. Heart |
