I went to my roof to watch for the possible tornado predicted by the weather service. It looked like most of the activity happened further uptown. There was a lot of lightning but all of it too far away to hear thunder.

South Beach Park in Staten Island. You can take either the S-51 or S-52 bus from the Ferry to get there. The water was lukewarm with no waves and we got a few minor jellyfish stings, but it was pleasant enough and relatively quiet for an NYC beach on a hot Sunday afternoon. That’s the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in the background.
