Hey Guys,
My wife and I are doing fine. Other friends are OK except for no power. Coney Island and other areas got hit hard and were underwater as well as Battery Park City. 9/11 and Sandy? Man are those people getting a rough deal for what they paid for real estate.
I'm more worried about our friends in New Jersey and Long Island. The neighborhood of Breezy Point at the tip of the Rockaways lost about 100 or more homes due to flooding and then a fire. They say that 60% of the residents refused to leave, so I'm praying that all they find in the burnt out rubble is just burnt out rubble.
Lower Manhattan is a mess. Driving around without traffic signals is an exercise in driving skill because there's people approaching intersections felling that they have the right of way by virtue of speed. Most of the residents have moved out of the area for now.
I feel bad for the model railroaders in New Jersey and Long Island because so much layout, so little electricity. Must be a special level of Hell.
