The Northeast had some crazy weather this morning. We woke up to a thunderstorm around 5:00 a.m. --the lightning lit up our room and the thunder seemed to be right above our apt. It seemed like your typical East Coast thunderstorm, until the morning commute started.
It took me 3 1/2 hours to get to Columbia....an hour wait to push my way onto a packed F train, another hour to get into Manhattan and then I find out the next train I need to catch is not running. Commuters poured out onto the streets and either walked the rest of the way or figured out what bus to take. I have never caught the bus in Manhattan, so I called one of my coworkers for help. She told me where to go and which bus to catch. I walked into the office at 11:30. Normally, commuting by subway is great, I have no complaints. However, on a day like today, I wish I worked closer to home...
I found out tonight that reports of a tornado in SW Brooklyn have been confirmed by scientists. A tornado in Brooklyn!?! Ethan and I are closer to the NW part of the borough so our neighborhood was spared (and luckily our ceiling didn't leak).
