We are fortunate but some other people along the Northeast United States coast are less fortunate. After my fears of yesterday that some forecasts late on Friday night were calling for epic rain where I live and worse just to the east, Henri took a more eastern track.
Putting my/spouse's Long Island and Rhode Island relatives in the path of the storm.
New York City was holding a Central Park concert yesterday to celebrate the return of the City, and at about 7:50 pm the concert was suddenly called, as Barry Manilow was singing "Can't Smile Without You".
Maybe he should have sung "Row, Row Row Your Boat" as the New York area parkways and streets are flooding. Meanwhile (some 150 miles away) our rain where I live started about 4:10 pm today.
This video was taken last night during the Central Park homecoming concert.Occupants of a packed subway card (heading towards the 59th St./Columbus Circle stop maybe, can't quite tell) conducted their own concert (the last minute or so of this video, but you may want to check out the sky in various parts of the video first). What an interesting sunset.
It wasn't interesting later last night as the rain came and came.
I am curious as to why the subway riders chose the state song of West Virginia, "Take Me Home, Country Roads".
It's so hard to believe that this song turned 50 this year.
Hoping all my friends (blogging and otherwise) and family stay safe from the storm.
Also hoping you can join me tomorrow for Music Moves Me.
I hope everyone stay safe.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
...stay safe!
ReplyDeleteWe were watching a bit of the concert, so we noticed when it got called. Glad to hear you're out of the path, for now.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you as I just heard a warning for heavy rain in Binghamton. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm really out of the loop sometimes. I didn't know there was a concert at Central Park last night.
ReplyDeleteI heard a lot of people lost power as a result of Henri. I'm glad to hear you didn't get the epic rain predicted.
I can't believe that John Denver song is 50 years old!! We can't be getting old, can we?
betty
My son lives in RI, and when I read it "made landfall" there I gave him a call. So far it was just rain, but they were prepared to lose power. I asked him about the basement thing I wondered yesterday, and his wife (a local New Englander) just said that houses "always" have basements! There's was just sealed, so should be fine.
ReplyDeleteI read attendees had to prove they were vaccinated. I wondered about the non-masked crowds!
Glad you aren't getting the brunt of it.
Well, it is a great song. Stay safe and well.
ReplyDeleteJust some crazy New Yorkers on their way home!
