I'm not beening a Pick about this post but i do think it funny that everyone who thought i was a little bit off to have some storm supplies under the bed is now going maybe your right about having a little extra here and there to ride out the weather for those just in case moments like this one .
When i first got to the city and did a few post here about having extras for that just in case moment some of the people said it would never happen here but it did .So now do you think about the next year season now or do you go back to sticking your head in the sand .

Most of those fallen trees in the pics had very few roots holding them upright. That's what happens when they grow in a tiny space between the street and sidewalk. Every time utility workers fix pipes etc they cut roots.
I think everyone should own a kerosene lamp "just in cast". My mom always drills that into my head anytime a big storm is coming up! I called her before her power went out and all her lamps were full and ready to go LOL! I didn't lose power but I sure was ready "just in case". Also bought some extra non perishables "just in case"
I shook my head at the people who didn't take this seriously. Mother Nature is no joke! There are enough examples of what strong wind and too much water can do. NYC is flanked by bodies of water so it doesn't take much common sense to see that low lying areas near those waters would flood. And we already know that the subways have flooding issues when it rains just a little too much.
I have no power at my apartment on 12th Street, but I have a friend who happens to have a free apartment with power uptown so I’m staying there.
Apart from the Subway and the power stations, Manhattan sustained relatively minor damage. I saw a few awnings down, and some bent street signs, but wind was not our problem last night. Cabs are available, but the drivers are increasingly exhausted.
The streets are full of people. It feels like being in Paris because everyone seems to be speaking French. Tourists are everywhere.
A handful of bodegas are open downtown using generator power. They’re selling sandwiches and hot coffee and have lines down the block.
Power starts working around 27th Street. Around 20 percent of the businesses are open uptown, including a lot of grocery and drug stores.
