This is a scene from this morning after Hurricane Irene (or Tropical Storm Irene, depending on who is reporting) made landfall at Coney Island. This is North Cove Marina featuring the World Financial Center in the background. Our apartment complex is just off screen to the right, and on slightly higher ground. The water here [...]
