REALLY? Wow. That's cool. I imagine a couple hundred years ago the pioneers would have seen this and freaked out.

And those birds are gonna need those feathers :-)

Panicked Evacuations Mix With Nonchalance in Hurricane Sandy’s Path

From further down the article:

Deirdre Michalopoulos, 48, who lives in a luxury condominium on a cobblestone street in Dumbo, a stone’s throw from the East River, said she and her family stayed put during Irene, to no ill effect, and would stay for Sandy too. “We live on the ninth floor, and I don’t think the water’s going to get up that high,” said Ms. Michalopoulos, who was heading out to buy supplies, and planned to pass the time cooped up inside, watching movies with her two children. “It’ll be great.”

LOL!

Deer have also disappeared from my back yard....going deeper into the woods to bed down and ride it out.

BTW, I’m not talking about flocks like you see at the Freshkill dump on Staten Island. The two I’ve seen (same one?) were about 40-50 strong. Still, the most I’ve seen in the 10 years I’ve lived here.
