Ici c'est la reprise, pas facile, car qui dit NY en ce moment dit soucis!
Le temps est chaud évidemment, et humide! pas moins de 30° (même 37° jeudi dernier), avec une très forte humidité!
Il y a eu des alertes ouragans, mais surtout beaucoup d'orages, violent. Central Park est en "rénovation" car apres l'un des orages de la semaine dernière (j'étais au ciné, je n'ai donc pas assisté à la tempête) de nombreux arbres sont tombés sur les routes longeant le parc, et chemins et voies à l'intérieur.
Voici quelques photos des dégats. Ainsi qu'une photo du ciel avant l'orage.
“Central Park has been devastated,” Adrian Benepe, the city parks commissioner, said in an interview on Wednesday morning. “It created more damage than I’ve seen in 30 years of working in the parks.”
Mr. Benepe added: “Some areas have had an almost total loss of trees. The Great Hill, the area around West 106th Street, has very large American elm trees. In that one area, several dozen trees went down.”
As work crews fanned out across the park, officials said they were still evaluating the destruction wrought by the storm, which brought wind gusts of 70 miles an hour and dumped up to three-quarters of an inch of rain over parts of the city.
