From Thursday everyone started to worry about hurricane and on Friday everyone went to get food and water and in city was strange atmosphere.
When I went to Trader Joe's on Friday afternoon, they limited customer to go inside of the shop. So there was long line for getting groceries. And when I got inside, already there were so many empty shelves. There was no water!!
From noon on Saturday all of subway were shutdown.
So I work until 11 am and went back home. And after 3 it started to rain but it wasn't that bad.
It was my birthday so I was gonna have party at bar that night but I cancelled it because there was no transportation. So I stayed home all day after I went back home but my roommates made my birthday night very special even Irene was coming to NYC.
But to be honest with you I missed worst part of Irene while I was sleeping.
So when I woke up, already outside was windy but sunny. And some of restaurants in our neighborhood was open!! So we went to one of them for brunch.
After I started to work at One Girl Cookies, I always work on weekend. So I hadn't had brunch for more than one year. But that day they decided not to open shop before so I could have Sunday off and I was so excited to have brunch on Sunday!! So our area has no damage and even Irene came I could enjoy my birthday weekend.
But there were many people who had to evacuate or got flood. So I was so lucky to have nothing.
And subway finally started to work on Monday morning at 6am. So I could go to work as usual at 7am.
I was so glad when I saw the subway would start to run at 6am. Before that I had to think to get car service to work. And everything went back to normal!!!
It was unforgettable weekend in many ways!!!
Empty shelves...
It was shelf for water... completely empty..
Saturday morning when I went to work. Still there was no wind and no rain.
But it looked weird sky.
It was around 3pm on Saturday. It started rain and roommates' cats were checking the weather.
