The other day, when everyone was talking about the derecho, I did as many did: I tried to capture the beautifully weird light and the unreal clouds with my phone's camera. This was not entirely successful, as I was still on the N train, moving between Queensboro Plaza and greater Astoria. The sky loses some of its heft here, but the train passing in the other direction and the odd echos of the fluorescent tubes in the car's windows combine to disorienting, but not entirely unpleasing, effect.
