Central Park got 9 inches of rain last night, the most rain in one day since 1882. Today NJ and NY have both declared a state of emergency. Hoboken is actually built 3 feet below sea level so flooding is always a major problem even during passing storms. This morning when I pulled out of my parking spot to go to work (we had a 2 hour delay) I found myself 45 minutes later only two short blocks away from where I started. That’s when I called my boss and told him ‘Yeah, I’m not coming in”. I pulled over into the first spot I could and walked the two blocks back to my apartment.
Rain day!
There’s a pilates class I might go to at noon, some grocery shopping I need to do (although I’ll have to go to the expensive gourmet store around the corner since I can’t drive anywhere in Hoboken) and some other errands I can do around town on foot. I also have some little illustrator projects I’m working on.
