Weathering the heatwave

The heatwave continues in the NYC metropolitan area (and the Northeast U.S.).  

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory until 8 tonight, with the heat index expected to hit 100 in the city. 

Cooling centers are open across the city, including today, though the options are limited with the usual Sunday closure of the Tompkins Square and Ottendorfer library branches. You can find cooling centers via this link. (Most of the options are for senior residents.)

There are also 45 NYC public schools open today for residents, though the closest to the East Village are on Division and Monroe streets. Find the list here

A city news bulletin notes: "New Yorkers should also take advantage of additional cool options such as museums, movie theaters, coffee shops, or a neighbor, friend, or family member's home."

Another viable option is a shopping trip to Key Food on Avenue A and Fourth Street, where the temps seem to be in the single digits. 

Meanwhile, thunderstorms may happen later this afternoon and early evening...
Some relief is on the way...

Winter wonderland, Part 2

The worst storm of the century since the last worst storm of the century








From the snow zone

Thanks to Storm of the Century correspondent Bobby Williams for these shots today...








Also!








And now, hysteria


Shortly after these photos were taken... the flurries began! We'll be here all day monitoring — without cheap theatrics and drama — the latest weather scenarios, mostly, until we go to Home Depot to buy supplies for the STORM OF THE CENTURY!

Lightning strike at The Ludlow?



Zap! GammaBlog has some incredible video from last night's storm... Did lightning strike the Ludlow? (Top photo from GammaBlog's Flickr; whole thing via Curbed)



In any event, I'm hoping that the Bethenny Frankel statue atop The Ludlow wasn't damaged...

Cleaning up after the storm

City crews were out this morning at Seventh Street and Avenue B. Previously.





Tree nearly wipes out Banjara

Thanks to reader Annie for the shots below. More storm damage from last evening. Here, we're on Sixth Street and First Avenue. The tree just missed Banjara. (And check out the photos Slum Goddess took of the tree....)
