Hurricane Sandy [updated]

7:15 a.m.: Hudson River, from Riverside and 135th St

9:15 a.m.: Hudson River, from the bike path ~ 150th St



Midday update:

12:30 p.m.: Again from the bike path, now with spittle rain and an increase in waves.  And ducks.



Evening update:

5:20 p.m.: Felled tree, Riverside at 147th Street

6:00 p.m.: Hudson River in the southern shadow of the George Washington Bridge

6:15 p.m.: Trees previously intact on our way out to the Hudson were down on our return trip.  This one missed us by about ten feet.
