The cars in line stretch for blocks, and no one can say when the gas might come in. Some stations don’t have enough electricity to pump the gas they have. Don’t call a car service; they are stuck, too. Our best hope right now is public transportation.

It’s surreal: the nearly-set sun is brighter than the lights of lower Manhattan. Is this a once-in-a-lifetime event? There are so many questions. Hopefully power will be restored soon.

Green-Wood always suffers during stormy weather, so you can imagine the damage that Sandy did to the trees in the cemetery. Here, a tree is down across 37th Street. No cars will be coming through for a while. Come back at night; it’s a little bit spooky around here even when it’s not Halloween time.

Yesterday, at the Dunkin Donuts by Pathmark and the Gowanus Canal, people were preparing for the storm by buying donuts. Mid-afternoon, there were crullers left as well as some misshapen donut sticks, and bagels, too. This little shopping center, in Zone A, will be closed until further notice.
