Here are a few very minor pictures of damage and traffic. I haven’t honestly been down to worst affected areas yet (which include where my apartment is located). Getting around the City was quite difficult today as there has been tremendous traffic. A lot of that has been caused by the dangling crane on the roof of a very high building on 57th Street. Basically this means that everything going up to 57th is somewhat gridlocked and everything going down to 57th is blocked – but if you are going downtown below 57th (as in the right hand side of the picture above) you are okay. More or less. (Of course, I understand that there are no traffic lights below 39th.)
New Yorkers are great walkers but it’s a bit tiring. Tomorrow some subway service will be restored. I have to applaud Mayor Bloomberg and city workers (and others) who have been out picking up tree limbs, etc. and moving ahead with the clean-up.
