I spoke to my sister and a few cousins this morning and they say it's not as bad as was expected. LI / Lower Manhattan seems to have the brunt of it.

We are doing fine in the big apple and thanks for asking. I was sleeping like a baby last night with the heavy rain fall.

Guess you will be happy to get a "Blow" from Irene

We seem to duck from Irene.

Irene gone and BLOW other people and leave us hanging. She's not the kind of woman I expected.

Not too much problems getting around Brooklyn. I was outside around 9:30 for my morning walk. I saw a few large branches on the ground but no trees blocking the roads.

No widespread flooding, just lots of debis from trees lining the roadway.

The streets were quiet, a few homeless persons walking around. No trains or buses were running.

Kings Highway was empty, you could have crossed it without looking for traffic.

A few grocery stores were open, but hardly anyone on the road. It reminded me of Christmas morning.

Irene never showed up for our Date. It's her Lost.

Rain rain in man'hattan last nite.

I'm happy to know that Irene did not land.

Went for a walk a little while ago, everything looks ok-ish, minus the buses and trains.

These babies weathered the storm.

The streets look really quiet Sheik.

Yeah, kinda. people were walking around though; but not many.

Of all things, last night I thought of that market at Hillside and 211 street!!

Me and my family are stuck in Cancun until Thursday. Hope everyone is safe.

Hope you all have an enjoyable time and get back safely.
