It’s already pretty windy here in BK, although Sandy’s not supposed to hit us until this afternoon. My roommate Decker said he was mulling going down to the Brooklyn Bridge to take pictures. But it’s looking bad out there. Our apartment is about a mile away from an evacuation zone near the East River, which is already starting to spill into Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens:

I’m going to try to throw up some updates later today, but right now I’m bogged down with various projects. If you’re in the storm’s path, check on your people, hunker down and get your comfort food on. And stay safe!
