Fair enough vis-a-vis #Sandy, but come on: some Sout Brooklyn bars better stay open for #NOvsDenAlexander J. Hancock
Looking at that NYC evacuation map, it’s great to know there isn’t an "evacuation center" anywhere in North Brooklyn. #SandyJeff Conklin
Guys, seriously? A line to get into Trader Joe’s? Calm down, people. I honestly expected more from you, Brooklyn. #FrankenstormLeslie Gwinn

Dear #Frankenstorm go easy on my bunker – I just feng shui’d it. #BrooklynJ LaLonde
Highly impressed by NYC’s DOT; Brooklyn Heights full of trash carts cleaning drainage areas of leaves & emptying trash #SandyBen Malbon
Grocery store is a mad house. Either there is a special on Brooklyn artisanal water or a storm is coming. I bet on the first. #SandySarah Dell’Aquila
