While the rain aspect of the storm was over, there was still lingering high wind gusts into Sunday morning. The one aspect of the storm I got to revel in... except for the quality of the air. I don't think NYC ever smelled or felt that "fresh". A hurricane is like nature's version of a power wash to the atmosphere. Pollen, pollution, that weird garbagy smell that always lingers in the city was scrubbed clean. For a while.

The storm came and went early this morning, and for very complicated reasons, depsite my enthusiam for mother nature's spectacle, I fell asleep. But I did manage to get up and go out on Sunday and get some video and pictures. Here are some mediative videos of the remaining wind near Red Hook.

Images taken on my Iphone during the AMC Plattekill Clove Slosh July 31st. Definately a place I would love to return to with a better camera.
