After the storm, a rainbow. A double rainbow for a superstorm.

A flooded subway station in New York City.
The subways are likely to be down for at least several days. Power outages south of 40th Street may continue for most of the rest of the week.
Lincoln Tunnel is working.
The Halloween Parade that usually happens every year will not take place this year because it would take up too much of the city's resources that need to go into helping those in real danger or distress after the storm.
Some of the bridges are working again.
The parks are closed because of the danger of falling branches.
NYC schools will be closed for the third day.
If you go outside at night take a flashlight, especially if you cross any street south of 40th Street. There are no street lights or traffic lights.

The evacuation of NYU hospital in the pitch dark. Patients were slid down 9 flights of stairs on 'sleds', one by one for hours.
What is the most dangerous now is that because of the loss of electricity below 40th street, there are no traffic lights. People are walking out without flashlights. There are few or no traffic cops.
For many of the people living in high rise buildings south of 40th Street, the loss of electricity means the water pumps are not functioning and they have no water. Health aides who live in Queens and Brooklyn cannot get to Manhattan to help the elderly. Many elderly cannot negotiate the stairs, are in wheelchairs and are without water. They also may not have heat. No light, no water, cannot flush toilets, unable to get out.
I am going to volunteer tomorrow and see what I can do to be of practical help.

Blizzard in Appalachia. "Superstorm Sandy buried parts of West Virginia under more than a foot of snow on Tuesday, cutting power to at least 264,000 customers and closing dozens of roads. At least one death was reported. The storm not only hit higher elevations hard as predicted, communities in lower elevations got much more than the in lower elevations got much more than the dusting of snow forecasters had first thought from a dangerous system that also brought significant rainfall, high wind gusts and small-stream flooding."
Flood water is toxic. It is polluted with sewage, petroleum and other toxic waste.
As former head of emergency response and preparedness for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Besser is familiar with the dangers that can come from not treating flood waters seriously. Below he offers four simple tips to keep you and your family safe.
Tip #1: Boil or Bleach Your Water
According to Besser, “For a boiled water advisory you need to boil your water for at least one minute of full boil. If you don’t have power and can’t do that you can take a gallon of water and add eight drops of bleach to that water and that will make that safe to drink.”
Tip #2: Wait to Clean Out the Floods
“You want to have good light so you can see what you’re doing,” Besser said. “When you have a couple of feet of water in your basement there may be sharp objects. There may also be electrical problems when you’re going into a basement that has water.”
Tip #3: Wear Protective Gear
“You don’t want it to come in contact so you want to wear boots and rubber gloves and goggles so that it’s not irritating your skin and you want to wash off very well after doing that [cleaning].”
Tip #4: Pitch Any Flood-Tainted Food and Water
Any food, any water, even in a sealed package, that has come in contact with flood water, you want to get rid of that,” Besser said. “The one exception for that is canned goods. You can take the labels off and either boil those cans or you can soak those cans in a bleach solution and then rinse those with clean water and use them.”
