Gothamist has a nice recap of all this here.We are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Henri. Here’s the latest:

-New York City is under a Tropical Storm Warning. We expect strong winds and rain to begin late tonight and last through tomorrow.
This reminds me of the day before Hurricane Sandy hit. I was walking through Union Square and heard people saying they didn’t think it was going to be any big deal and they didn’t believe the weather reports. Hurricane Sandy was a category one. Hurricane Henri is also a category one and is headed straight for somewhere between Fire Island and the Hamptons. New York doesn’t get a direct hit by a hurricane very often, but when it does it’s pretty bad. Let’s hope the storm surge isn’t as bad as Sandy,but the forecast isn’t looking too good right now, the moon is full tomorrow, and the storm comes In at high tide. Get ready.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the storm will blow the full moon away. I for one am tired of this lazy azz moon doing nothing, just hanging around, rolling back and forth never moving forward, its draining. It just goes in circles like a confused person trying to fight gravity. The moon needs to retire or get a job somewhere else. Furthermore, the moon hasn't announced its pronouns. Boooo.
