Ridin' the storm out
Seventh Street and Avenue A ... by Dave on 7th. (Actually, this bike has been locked here for awhile, but...)
[Updated] Hurricane, schmurricane: Ray's will be open all day — and night
Ray said he's be there all day and night. Unfortunately, the day shift couldn't make it in. So Ray is on his own.
Melanie has more photos of Ray ... and his makeshift quarters for the storm.

The line that you were waiting to see at Trader Joe's
Well, we heard about the lines at Trader Joe's all day... now EV Grieve reader DC sends along the shot that shows just how
And from EV Grieve reader Joe... a shot of the line waiting for the wine store....
And another angle later from Lauren...
All hands on deck at dawn
Echo & the Bunnymen from 1983. Blindingly obvious in these circumstances. But a lovely track nonetheless.
And at the Food Emporium Union Square...
Via @mattlehrer — There's a fair amount of water left @ Food Emporium Union Square but fewer carts and baskets than shoppers.
Water! Water! GET HIM!
Unloading in front of the 99-cent store on First Avenue near Fifth Street. Good, now I won't have to boil my urine for drinking water.

Zone A residents told to evacuate by tomorrow at 5 p.m.
Mayor Bloomberg said the city would start a mandatory evacuation of residents in Zone A areas. (Gothamist)
Borrowed this map from BoweryBoogie... Zone A is the area in orange.
That's a fairly wide area... starting at Houston... East of Avenue D to the East River ... north along Avenue D to East Ninth Street, then west on Ninth Street to Avenue B then north on B to East 14th Street...
Seward Park High School and Baruch College are the nearest evacuation centers.
Per Mayor Bloomberg via Gothamist:
He also said: "From 9 p.m. tomorrow to 9 p.m. Sunday please, stay indoors. It is dangerous when the winds are this high and the rains are so heavy."
Yes, but we need photos.

Per Mayor Bloomberg via Gothamist:
Technically, not heeding the mandatory evacuation order would be a violation of the law that could get you fined and sent to jail. But Bloomberg assured New Yorkers today that "nobody is going to get fined and nobody is going to go to jail, but if they don't evacuate they could die."
He also said: "From 9 p.m. tomorrow to 9 p.m. Sunday please, stay indoors. It is dangerous when the winds are this high and the rains are so heavy."
