Resident shares photos of wiped-out apartment; looks forward to return
EVG reader Mark Smith shares these photos of his basement apartment that got wiped out in the storm surge on Monday night ...
His employer put him up in temporary quarters. But he is looking forward to returning to the neighborhood as soon as he can ... he asked if anyone had leads on an apartment. Here's his email.

Last night
Somewhere along East Ninth Street near Avenue C. The remnants of a flood-damaged apartment.
A quick look at Avenue C and D this morning
Around 8:15 a.m. or so... As you would expect, a lot of activity at the Con Ed substation (it doesn't look so busy in this photo, just trust me...)
...a common sight... hydrants are open... I saw a few residents of the Lillian Wald houses fill up buckets and take them back inside the buildings...
The remnants of a big tree that fell on East Seventh Street near Avenue C....
It is difficult to tell how much damage there are to the businesses and buildings on the parts of Avenue C and D that were flooded (I believe the water stopped around East Fifth Street at Avenue C) ... Most places look fine on the outside, where the gates are down. I know there are many flooded basements. Yesterday, there were all sorts of gas-powered pumps in action.
The Associated on Avenue C at East Eight Street was hit particularly hard. There appeared to be an inch of water on the floor this morning. A worker was carrying out bags of mucky products.
I'm still playing catch-up with all this. Please let me know if you have any updates or anything Sandy related.

Tuesday night on St. Mark's Place during the blackout
St. Mark's Place on Tuesday. Via Gothamist, who has more photos of the East Village in the blackout here.
Signs of cell phone life on Avenue C
The front of Esperanto on Avenue C and East Ninth Street is a spot for cellular service... At last look, there were 25 people making calls, texting, etc. (And there are rumors that the cell phone reception area will be applying for a beer-wine license...)
... and a few steps away. Didn't see anyone around at this hour.
This happening at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) on Avenue C? Does anyone know?

Watch Con Ed blow up, and in slo-mo replay

A quick break in any serious reporting to let you know that ...
Zoltar was fine. Here he is yesterday afternoon.
In the dark
Well this sucks. Everyone OK? We got hit pretty hard, but we're fine. No power. Internet. Online poker. 3G. Etc.
Stayed behind to help out some neighbors in flood-damaged apartments. If all goes well, then I'll be back tommorrow with photos, updates and Zoltar.
Be well.
