I walked down to DUMBO this morning. It looks like the East River came up into the park, but by the time I got there the river had settled a bit. The current was very strong; it looked like it was almost boiling with whitecaps on the top. I stitched together a bunch of photos; click through the image to see it at Gigapan.
[Updated: added better version of panoramic photo.]

Hurricane Irene has all but left the New York area. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been. There is a cloud suspended over the Brooklyn Bridge, but the East River looks calm.
Anne stayed overnight since the South Street Seaport was flooded. I woke up early this morning to make brunch.
Waffles, Mountain Sweet Berry Farm strawberries, cherries, Champagne, coffee, and bacon (U.S. and Canadian).

Patti and I have stocked up with a ton of food and such for Hurricane Irene. One of our friends is already staying with us since the city evacuated her neighborhood. Feel free to reach out to me if you need a place to stay. There is a useful evacuation map if you’re not sure if you have to evacuate: http://www.civiguard.com/irene/. Also, Con Ed is starting to tell people that they will be shutting down power to selected parts of lower Manhattan preëmptively.
