Yesterday morning, after Hurricane Irene passed, we scoured Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to see how the neighborhood held up. Thankfully, 99.99999% of the neighborhood looked fine. Shingles weren’t missing, cars and homes weren’t destroyed, and while we spotted several downed trees in parks and on streets, we only saw one downed tree that caused what looked to be only minor damage to a couple of homes.


And the good old FDNY was there to cut portions of the tree away and save the day. Now if only they could have saved that house on the right from those ostentatious columns on the second floor there, sheesh!
