I saw that gust coming down Myrtle Ave, garbage and dust filled, from downtown and slam into my windows. Whew, that was powerful.

If you call ConEd to report a downed power line will they have some livery cab driver show up and park over it?

I got a backyard full of tree branches and the cable lines for our apt are now hanging level with my head.

not to mention that i felt like i ate a bag of cement. you could see everything fly around from the (many) construction areas in the neighborhood. took a margarita to feel better.
