evacuation/round number

Update #2 · Aug 27, 2011 · comment

It was kind of a big day for Here in Red Hook. The serious news is that there is a hurricane on the way and NYC Mayor Bloomberg ordered the first ever mandatory evacuation of low-lying and flood-prone sections of the city. This includes almost all of Red Hook. Residents have until 5pm tomorrow to be out. Scary. Let's send some good thoughts or prayers in the direction of the neighborhood. I'm less than a mile away, but on higher ground here on 15th St. and 4th Ave. where I've been living the past few months. The two apartments where I lived in Red Hook are both in the evacuation zone. 

The good news is we reached 100 backers!  Thank you all so very much. Money aside, I'm so happy to have the support of all of you. The campaign ends at noon on Labor Day and I'm hoping to pass $5000 by then. I think we can do it. 

Stay safe. 

All the best, 

Andy
