September 2, 2021Close Your Windows – Mosquito Spraying in Bay Ridge and Dyker Tonight 9/2
NYC shared that mosquito spraying will take place in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights on September 2nd from 8pm tonight to 6:30 am tomorrow morning. (Info here)
It’s good the city is spraying for mosquitoes, but you don’t want those chemicals in your home! (Info)
Close your windows and air conditioner vents (if you have them).
We’ve seen the truck come at in the early hours of the day (around 1 or 2 am). They signal the block with an announcement and then go down the blocks and spray. Sometimes they just spray around the parks, but since they are showing the map with full blocks being sprayed, make sure to close your windows.

Steve shared this good video of Hurricane Ida in Bay Ridge tonight.
Megan shared this video of the 95th Street Train Station:
I just got home after waiting w/ friends for a Lyft after the R train had too many delays. The bar we were at closed early after some water got in (not a lot). The train station we waited in was starting to flood as we left. #flashflood #NYC #ida #brooklyn pic.twitter.com/9v1Hjr85rQ

September 1, 2021Fire at the Mosque on 86th Street in Bay Ridge
There was an oil burner fire at Masjid Al Rahman Mosque at 333 86th Street in Bay Ridge around 7:30 pm tonight. Rain was pouring on Bay Ridge because of Tropical Storm Ida.
I didn’t even know there was a mosque on 86th Street. It looks nice inside. (Take a look – scroll down on the left after you click)
The fantastic firemen put out the fire.
I like that the firemen hang around a bit after the fire is out because it lets the neighborhood know the fire is over.
