A Storm Hits Gotham, 5:50 p.m.

Seven minutes ago, this is what we saw out our newsroom windows.



"So Gotham."

"Apocalyptic."

"Very Blade Runner." (Note the white blip of a TV screen-billboard on top of the building at the right.)

All very trite, all very apt. I'd never noticed that the new New York Times building looks so very post-Sept. 11th Trade Center at its top.

Upon rereading this post, I realize it reminds me more of the photos I've seen of the Trade Center under construction. When the North Tower was mid-rise.

Both. It somehow reminds me of both.
