Coming this October: #Sandy, a book of iPhone photos of the titular storm, featuring the likes of 13th Witness, Erica Simone, and Stephen Wilkes behind the camera. It’s currently funding on Indiegogo, and 100% of royalties will be donated to Occupy Sandy and Sandy Storyline. Unless you’d rather not be reminded of the destruction that Sandy […]
Here’s yet another headache for those whose homes were damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Sandy. When floodwaters receded, they may have taken sediment with them, leaving giant pockets of air underground that could potentially become sinkholes. In the case of flooded houses, that means foundations that were once solid could be rendered unstable. “From Seagate […]
Here’s a Street View time warp glitch a little more drastic than the one we showed you earlier this year. Click here to be transported to Staten Island’s Kissena Avenue, then take one step forward, and see the scope of destruction Hurricane Sandy left in its wake. It’s fucking mind boggling and sad. Kudos to Redditor […]
Here’s the new video for Hot Sugar’s “Leverage,” which finds the producer chilling in Coney Island along with Kool A.D., Fat Tony, Lakutis, and Nasty Nigel of World’s Fair. Judging by the snow still on the ground and the general destruction all around, the clip looks like it was shot sometime last winter, when Coney […]
When Hurricane Sandy hit the city last year and officials were deciding who to evacuate, they didn’t have very many options, with only three flood zones: A (high risk), B (mid risk) and C (low risk). Now, in an effort to allow more nuanced plans and avoid over- or under-evacuation, the city has released a […]
When Hurricane Sandy ravaged New York City and its public transportation system last fall, the R train was one of the hardest-hit lines. Four thousand feet of that line’s East River tunnel flooded, filling with 27 million gallons of water, rendering travel from Brooklyn to Manhattan and back on the R impossible for nearly two […]
Tomorrow, seven months (nearly to the day) after Hurricane Sandy, the Rockaways will once again have a fully-functional subway, as A Train finally service returns to the area. About a month after the storm, the MTA restored partial train service to the area via a temporary “H Train” that traversed the peninsula but didn’t extend to mainland […]
Nearly seven months after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc along New York City’s shoreline, there is stil much rebuilding to be done, especially in the Rockaways. Though many damaged homes have been rebuilt, and A train service returns to the peninsula next week, mold caused by flooding after the storm still poses a health risk to […]
After the town of Mantoloking, New Jersey was devastated by Hurricane Sandy last year, its citizens decided at least one thing wasn’t worth rebuilding: its telephone lines. The plan seems extreme at first, but when is the last time you actually picked up a landline phone and made a call (incoming calls don’t count)? I’ll wait. […]
God dammit, Sandy… Can’t you just go away forever already? Six months after the hurricane devastated the East Coast, many are still left without homes or schools to send their children to. And now, this shit. According to a report just released by Climate Central, Sandy caused more than 10.9 BILLION gallons of untreated sewage […]
