The Day After

We are fine here in Jackson Heights.  We even have electricity!  But we are also stuck:  all the subway lines running under the East River are flooded, and most of the bridges are closed too.  Portions of La Guardia's runways, just two miles from us, are under water (the same with JFK).  It makes us realize that we live on an island off the mainland of the United States.  Our friends in lower Manhattan didn't fare so well: streets flooded, no electricity, no subway or bus service.  Also, our favorite beach, Breezy Point, in the Rockaways, is a disaster scene.
