There was a hurricane, really?

Hurricane Irene was almost unnoticed in Midtown, Manhattan. Some rain and flooding, wind, something like fog early this morning and... that's it! 
The images we see on TV don't match what we've experienced. Except for the empty streets, which is really surreal.
It looks like the city that never sleeps, slept last night!

August 14, 2011: Arriving at our new (tiny) apartment in New York

Packing in our Philly apartment

                        The first box we packed was easy!

            Packing the following boxes was like playing Tetris.

      Wraping the fragile items... was endless!
