Aftermath of Sandy in Greenwich Village, NY

Broadway by Union Square. Usually brightly-lit buildings are dark. Only the Metlife building off in the distance is lit.

Utility trucks from Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, etc. waiting for assignments in Union Square

Greenwich Village in the dark. New York University has it's own generator and some of it's buildings kept power throughout the week.

More light from NYU

Normally busy 8th Street, deserted.

A skylight lifted off a building and hurled into the street.

This old building, apparently an illegal hotel, had the facade fall off.

For several nights we had no restaurants, clubs, TV or internet. This was a typical night.

This is just a small record of Hurricane Sandy's effects in my

neighborhood of Greenwich Village, NY in late October to Early
December 2012. Nothing dramatic - just a microcosm of New York after
the storm. Click on photos for larger versions.
