Roosevelt Island Lighthouse Park Under East River Flood From Hurricane Irene - Take Precautions Near Protective Barriers Around Downed Trees and Fallen Branches, Southpoint Park, Lighthouse Park and Capobianco Field Closed Until Cleanup Completed

Image of Roosevelt Island Lighthouse Park Flood From Hurricane Irene by Michael Girard

Roosevelt Island resident Michael Girard was out early Hurricane Irene Morning (Sunday) at around 9:30 AM and witnessed the East River flooding of Lighthouse Park at the northern tip of Roosevelt Island. He kindly shares these pictures with us.

I was at Lighthouse Park at about noon on Sunday and the water was mostly gone.

Here's what the Roosevelt Island Subway Pier looked like flooded by the East River Sunday Morning around 9:30 too.

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) issued the following Hurricane Irene aftermath advisory today.
For your safety and in order to facilitate cleanup after Hurricane IRENE, please adhere to the caution tape and barricades located in various areas around the island which indicate downed trees, fallen limbs and other hazards.

Southpoint Park, Lighthouse Park and Capobianco Field are closed and will remain closed until further notice. All other fields are open for use. The Sportspark Gymnasium is open with all programming running as scheduled.

We appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group

UPDATE 8 PM- Received the following advisory from RIOC:
Please be advised that Southpoint Park will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, August 30th, at 6:00 a.m. and return to normal park hours.

Sincerely,

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group
Also, a reader of this post asked earlier today:
Does anyone know if there was flooding at 4 Freedoms Park as well?  It looks like the outdoor "room" there is pretty close to sea level as it is.
According to the  FDR Kahnstruction News:
For those worried about the construction site, thank you. The Park weathered Hurricane Irene very well. A picture taken Sunday in the early afternoon as the Room dries out from all the water!

That's too bad, if true. East River flooding from Hurricane Irene might have washed the Kahn Death Box Mausoleum  right off the southern tip of Roosevelt Island's Southpoint Park.

Nice pics... 

RooseveltIslander said...

The Kahn/FDR people report that the "room" weathered the storm well.

Mamabird said...

The million upon millions of dollars spent on all the tons and tons of marble to build that thing is riduculous. Our parks at the South tip should have beautiful fountains, maybe a public pool for the kids and animal sancturary. Look at Central Park for instance, so beautiful and has so much to do. 

I like it said...

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I think the memorial is going to look great. Fountains are nice, too, but I like the contemporary vibe.

Good Kitty said...

I like the memorial too but it just occurred to me that a fence of some sort is going to have to be installed at the open side of the room - which is sort of an overlook.  Is this going to make it look a trifle "pedestrian"?  Otherwise, I like the concept of a sweeping V-shaped monument to one of the greatest presidents, pointed directly at the U.N., which tries to uphold the 4 Freedoms engraved on the room on an international basis.

I meаn "Roosevelt Island Lighthouse Park Under East River Flood From Hurricane Irene - Take Precautions Near Protective Barriers Around Downed Trees and Fallen Branches, Southpoint Park, Lighthouse Park and Capobianco Field Closed Until Cleanup Completed" is a little plain.
You mіght glаncе at Үahoo's home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about everything've written.
Just my opinіon, it could make уour posts
