Hurricane Sandy

It seems like so long ago the hurricane came through. Below are some pictures of what I experienced during the storm. Where I live in the Upper West Side, we did not loose power and buildings remained in tact. As most people saw on the news, there were many places hit hard that are still recovering.

More supply prep by the National Guard. Where they were delivering it to is probably another story.

For about a week we had free fare on the subway.

Subway ads for the NYC Marathon (that didn't happen).

Central Park was closed for at least a week because so many trees were down.

In preparation for the storm, Julie and Abby filled freezer bags with water and placed in the freezer. They also filled the bathtub with water, all in case we lost water.

Abby, Julie, and Kristen doing homework in our apartment. Abby (top) came to stay with us the week because her apartment is all windows and she lives on the 21st floor. Kristen (lower right) had just moved to her Upper West Side apartment and didn't have internet yet. Another classmate who lost power and water would come to our place to shower.

Some of the scene in Morningside Park. Lots of large trees had fallen.

When Central Park finally opened, bands were stationed throughout the park playing music.
