The Weather Channel seems to think this storm is a pretty big deal, seeing as the center of this hurricane has the lowest pressure the east coast has ever seen. Buildings may sway, water may rush the streets of Manhattan, and power may be out for days, possibly a week.
It occurs to me, thanks to my loving sister Genevieve, that it might be a good idea to start this blog to catalogue what it's like down here in Crown Heights. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to promise to do the following:
1. Post plenty of pictures and videos of what it's like down here (power providing).
2. Provide a description of my activities.
3. Give general updates of my well being.
4. Share my entertaining take on these events as they unfold.
So to begin, here is a video of what it looks like in my hood just before midnight on Sunday night.
Let's see how this goes! I'm sure I will have some pretty intense pictures and videos to post later, so it'll be good to have this as a frame of reference, even if it is at night. And who knows, maybe the jet stream won't pull in the hurricane and it will float out to sea like they normally do. I doubt it though. I'm ready, Sandy, bring it on!
DISCLAIMER: Let's be clear, people: I appreciate the danger and severity of this approaching Monster Storm we call Sandy. Mother Nature does NOT play around with death and destruction, and I know I'm putting myself in harm's way by staying down here in the city; however, dear readers, I do find it necessary to not only catalogue my survival through this storm, but add a certain amount of my special, sarcastic, dry humor that I have carefully honed over the last five years of my teaching career. Please do not misunderstand the tone of my posts. Just read and enjoy as much as you can.
