harlem is a majority black and brown community. i leave on a very historic street, 137th, between 7th and 8th. my name is nanette and i live in woodside, queens. we have multiracial community and it is very friendly. our community, it is a normal day, whether it is raining or dry outside. we're still looking at a pretty potent storm system with a lot of rain and it is all starting to move into the tri—state area. i am the owner of a cafe in brooklyn, new york. during covid we saw a revenue loss of about 75%, and it is always really difficult to operate and let go of a bunch of our stuff. now that things were finally back kind of to normal, with vaccinations, we felt that we were ready to kind of start bringing back our old business model. the wind is kicking in and also we are going to end up getting bigger rain in our area because, as it moves on a diagonal, you start tapping into the ocean influence. the possibility that those storms do turn severe is something we've got to consider. we had the flash flood warnings. in new york
