The Roosevelt Island Lighthouse

I took this photo of the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse this morning, hoping to take advantage of the foggy weather.

Hurricane Sandy and the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse

Even before Hurricane Sandy makes landfall, the storm surge is significant. Here is a photo of the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse I took back in 2007, used for comparison with how the lighthouse looks in today's storm.
