Hurricane Earl’s principal effect on Brooklyn Heights so far has been to give us two spectacular sunsets. Above, high cirrus clouds on the evening of Thursday, September 2 herald the storm’s approach. (More photos and text follow the jump.)

On Friday evening, September 3, thick bands of lower clouds, outliers of the storm that churns to the east, create a layered effect.

    blustery winds howl
    through the streets of Brooklyn Heights
    feeling quite alive
