The Nor’Easter of the Century

The Brooklyn Paper

We don’t have a fancy Doppler 8000 radar machine and we don’t have Mr. G, but that doesn’t mean The Brooklyn Paper can’t cover a storm like the best journalists on TV today. Inspired by three days of “sky-is-falling” hysteria from the local networks, The Paper geared up for its exclusive team coverage of the great Nor’Easter of 2007. We think you’ll agree that our reporters covered every angle.

“The water seemed to be coming from the sky, up there.”

“Many people got out of the rain by going down these stairs and getting on some sort of underground rail conveyance.”

“I kept my garbage cans from blowing away by filling them with garbage!”

“Water seemed to be collecting in recesses and holes like this!”
