Adam and I have decided to ride the storm out in the country—the thought of walking the pug in a storm surge pushed us over the edge—so please send in your photos, videos, observations, and news to tribecacitizen@gmail.com, and I’ll post it here in a timeline. (Unless we lose power….) I’ll also be retweeting like mad; you can read the tweets even if you don’t have a twitter account. Last year’s storm tweets were a kick. Let’s hope Sandy is as locally anticlimactic as Irene was.

P.S. Stay safe!
