The storm came through New York City fairly quickly, with only a
few hours of wild wind and rain, and the damage was much worse along the coast,
in Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens. But up here along Riverside Drive
between 111th and 114th Streets, there are lots of branches broken off, and
even some trees down.

I saw when I crossed Riverside Drive. |

Near the mayhem above.

A much bigger tree was uprooted down in the park.

A skirt of branches
|

Leaf litter

And large branches block the promenade along Riverside Drive

Meanwhile, it's dusk, and the raccoons have come out to forage, while residents have started feeding them, which is probably not a good idea. Raccoons are wild animals. They are not domesticated pets.

Thanks for posting these! It looked just like that out here, too. My doggies weren't very happy having to navigate all the tiny downed branches... Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWow! Besides the storm damage, I don't think feeding the raccoons is a good idea either. They scare me! We had a tornado touch down here in PA about 30 minutes from my house. It hit a daycare center at a local hospital. Thankfully there were no major injuries.
