Hurricane Irene, which put pretty much the whole city in a quite tense alert passed by. Spent the day yesterday with my sister getting ready for the emergency of losing water and electricity. We did have pretty much everything in hand, we just put them out to the kitchen table to be handy, filled lots of jars and containers with drinking water, cooked some food and stored them in case the gas won’t work.
Fortunately nothing so serious happened around this neighborhood. People started walking around by the late morning with grocery bags in hand. We had the radio on with people talking about the situations around them.
Wind is still very strong and it’s gray out, and of course we missed our usual grocery shopping at Sunday’s farmer’s market, but I think we could use our emergency food for regular meals now. In the meantime, since MTA stopped anyway, and since it’s still unclear when they would be back in service, I’m secretly hoping that I won’t have a transportation to work tomorrow.
...makes me laugh...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
