Did a little walkabout in Bushwick, and this is the worst damage I saw. I called 311 to report it and waited 10 minutes on hold before they answered. My civic deed for the month. Hurricane Irene was a non-event for me. Hardly rained yesterday and it had passed by morning. Any action occurred while I was sleeping, and I never heard high winds. Last year’s tornado had much bigger impact, tearing down many trees.
