Conditions are slowly going down hill here in Brooklyn. The water is slowly spilling over...

... the sea wall here in Bay Ridge. The Belt Parkway has not been closed, but High tide has brought several feet higher than normal. The winds are sustained 15-20MPH with Gusts 30-40 MPH. No rain yet.

15. We were lucky

Most of us - power has returned to about 82% of the island. A few people lost everything and some infrastructure was damaged but it was mostly trees, power and coastal flooding.
We're fine.
