A woman walks by the Lik Gallery in the Soho neighborhood in New York after Hurricane Irene passes on Sunday, August 28, 2011. The Lik Gallery sandbagged the doors and covered the windows with tape as protection against flooding from Hurricane Irene. Hurricane Irene hit the city as a category one hurricane quickly being downgraded to a tropical storm but still saturating New York City with over six inches of rain. (© Frances M. Roberts)
