    Hurricane Sandy is approaching

     
    The wind woke me up this morning. It was still dark outside. Moments later, rain started splashing against my window. Daylight made its way in shy slivers of dim light... and offered a hint of the reality of the day. Sandy Day. Yet each hour turns the day darker and grayer, heavier with water and wind. Then waves start spilling onto the waterfront.

    A few people are still on the streets, taking pictures with the wild waves as background or going home, hands full with grocery bags.

    Still, earlier today I saw a guy on a bike, people walking their dogs, just one more time...

    Water levels are rising. Boats are still on the Hudson. Police trucks carrying sand bags take over the streets, only for a moment. Then the sirens vanish away.

    Wind is picking up. So does the water. Is it time to get serious?
