The Calm Before The Storm

It's Saturday afternoon and NYC is post apocalyptic in preparation for the approaching hurricane. It literally is the calm before the storm. The streets are empty, the shops are closed and there is an eerie silence so unusual on New York streets. Dog owners come out of their apartments like ants between rain showers to get one last walk in for their pooch. 

Sandbags, tape and tarpaulins were number one on the shopping list today as the city prepares for a once in a century hurricane. The air is so humid you could almost cut it into blocks. All I can say is why did it have to come on a weekend.

Every bin in Manhattan has been turned upside down in preparation of the hurricane.

And so the calm means NYC has been closed, stripped, bagged, boarded and bandaged.

Closed

Stripped

Bagged

Boarded

And Bandaged
