    Am I crazy because I'm looking forward to the Boston Globe pictures. They always take fantastic photos of these crazy events.

    Of course my prayers are with all the people affected by this storm.

    None of my NYU Med people have responded, so I can't deny or confirm this.

    Yeah, I thought for sure this storm was going to be worse in Baltimore for some reason. I'm glad I was wrong, but, feel bad for the people in NJ. :(

    Amazing how fast the water has receded with the tides. My block just went from "no fn way" to "ok if you have an SUV" in about 30 min

    I've beem living in florida for almost 12 years and 95% of these storms are weak and really dont create any issues

    but there is always that small percentage that could be big, like Katrina..

    Bet you a lot of folks are now considering moving south...Subways have turned into giant water conduits...all that water and no place to go...this one really hurts...

    Well atleast the subways no longer smell like urine and rats were washed out...(too soon?...) prayers to all the people in the city...and the nearby tristate area...and prayers to everyone else affected by this disaster...

    This was the BIG ONE...the STORM of the CENTURY...its gonna be a while for NYC and the surrounding areas to recover from this one...
