One year ago today: Waiting for Hurricane Irene

While parts of the South brace for Hurricane Isaac... I'm reminded that it was one year ago today when New York started prepping for the arrival of Hurricane Irene...

And have you noticed how many East Village windows still have tape on them to protect from flying glass and stuff...? (Or maybe this pre-dates Irene... and to ward off UFOs...)


You may relive revisit all of our Irene posts here.

Some people in my building never took down the white tape X's on their windows. I wonder how long theyll be on there.

I think there's still tape up from the hurricane warning of 1984! (Not a joke.)

They're probably waiting for their landlord to take it down. Wouldn't want to have to lift a finger for their own homes, now!
