"The Bronx’s inability to catch up with the rest of the city’s phenomenal economic growth has been disconcerting. In the early 1970s, the Bronx and Brooklyn had similar average household incomes. Since then, though, the gap has grown significantly. The average Brooklyn resident is now around 23 percent richer than the average Bronxite; people in Queens are roughly 32 percent richer. (Manhattan residents are 265 percent wealthier; Staten Island residents, by the way, are 55 percent richer.)"
The storm which tore through City Island today brought with it lots of lightning which struck a boat, causing a fire at the Morris Yacht and Beach Club on City Island this afternoon.
According to sources, FDNY crews responded after black smoke was sen coming from the boat.
Emergency crews responded in force, with multiple trucks, as well as police and fire boats.
No injuries have been reported, and fortunately that blaze did not spread as the boat was anchored offshore when the fire broke out.
