I guess it hadn't quite touched down yet.Unfortunately the neighbor of a woman I know in Forest Hills was severely injured after falling off a ladder while surveying damage to her roof.<br /> The sky did get black in my area, with a tremendous bang of thunder and dense sheets of rain. Something big(plastic furniture?)flew off an above terrace, grazing mine but doing no damage. My cat was terrified. Two squirrels had been on my 11th floor terrace screen a minute or two before the storm and got my attention by emitting alarmed loud calls. They scampered off just in time and hopefully weren't hurt. Animals sense storms coming.Marjorie Melikiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449761564484963359.post-51098663979476758922010-09-17T10:09:48.406-04:002010-09-17T10:09:48.406-04:00Thanks for your concern, Michael.

I saw how black the sky had become from my office in lower Manhattan, yet I suffered no damage or injury from the storm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
