There were all sorts of tweets around midnight of gunshots, maybe, but more likely fireworks ... we haven't been able to pinpoint the exact location... Shawn Chittle took this photo looking southeast toward Tompkins Square Park...
Anyone have a fix on the location?

Con Ed shutting off some steam service
Several residents have told us that their landlords are turning off the hot water... here's the official release from Con Ed on the matter.... an excerpt...
One reader said that her landlord announced this in an email, and she's in Zone B.
Con Edison is also in the process of shutting down steam service to some buildings in areas of Manhattan that may be prone to flooding. If the steam pipes were to get inundated with flood water externally, the temperature difference could make the pipes dangerous.”
