Gabbi – Bayside

I live in Bayside, Queens. On Monday, there was a lot of rain, wind, and branches falling around my house. I live in a two family house, and pretty much every house in my neighborhood had damage.  That night, my neighbors gutter was half off his roof, and it kept crashing into the house every few seconds because of the wind. My car and my mom’s car were both in the driveway, and the shingles from my house, fell into my driveway and narrowly missed both of our cars. Pretty much all that night, the lights were flickering on and off but fortunately, we didn’t loose any power.  Tuesday afternoon, my mom and I drove around to look at what happened around my neighborhood. There were down trees and electrical wires everywhere, and it was pretty much impossible to get around it all.  The lirr wasn’t operating for a few days, so there was no way to get around if I wanted to get to the city, and most of the other trains didn’t work for a while.
