Good night, Irene




Beautiful shots this evening looking west on Houston via our friend BaHa.

A post-Irene plague?


EV Grieve reader Steven spotted this at the Sixth Street ramp into the East River Park.

Another view of the tree damage in Tompkins Square Park; damage to the Hare Krishna tree?

Thanks to EV Grieve reader Anna for the following shots of the trees in the Park ... Per Anna:

"Two broken branches are suspended over the first right-hand path from the center Seventh Street entrance.



... "The Hare Krishna tree also has damage, at least the tip is completely
broken and a branch in the mid-section of this limb. I'm looking right
at the white patch of raw wood at the tip but it isn't coming through
the photos."

A large NYPD presence on East 12th Street

A reader report from late this afternoon on 12th Street between Avenue A and B... a reader heard someone yell "Stop him!"

"I saw people from the street and cops running down 12th Street. Got outside and saw them wrestling with this kid. They finally got him under control and took him back down 12th Street toward B. Tons of people outside, tons of cops. Don’t know what he did ..."

Anyone have more details?

Now in the Hurricane Irene Lost and Found


A reader spotted this near the Avenue C loop of Stuy Town...


Post Irene, East River looks pretty much the same

As Dave on 7th notes, the garbage tells the story. Water level got to promenade level here along East River Park.

3 downed trees in Tompkins Square Park

That was the early word this morning from the people milling about who seemed to know what they were talking about... Dave on 7th has some photos...




Another downed tree

EV Grieve reader Alex reports the loss of a beautiful tall tree in the yard between Fifth and Sixth Streets between Avenue A and B.


Fortunately, the tree fell toward Avenue A, because otherwise it would probably have taken out some people's windows.


The tree (on the left) in August 2009. Not sure when the tree on the right came down.
