This morning, I asked Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Public
Information Officer Amy Smith and Public Safety Department Chief Kevin
Brown:
Was there any damage from storm and flooding last night on Roosevelt island.
Was anybody injured? Any reports to Public Safety?What time did the Tram stop operating and when did it resume?
No response from RIOC.
Roosevelt Island was very fortunate in not being impacted by
the flooding as were many NYC neighborhoods.
The Twitterverse reports:
Did you have trouble getting home to Roosevelt Island last night from the
NYC flooding? https://t.co/CzUAWIHldH— Roosevelt Islander (@Rooseveltisland)

Tha tram stopped because there was a fire issue that they need to get sorted
an MTA employee told me. When I reached at midnight it wasn’t running but
resumed at 12:30. The 63rd station being closed people were stranded at both
places. Uber waiting times of an hour.— NIMI VASHI (@nimivashi15)

Luckily the tram restarted and ran on it’s original timing till 2:00 AM.
There were a lot of passengers on the RI side that rushed to it when it
re-started.— NIMI VASHI (@nimivashi15)

but returned later in the day with limited service.
There were also reports that power went out in Roosevelt Landings
546 Main Street for a while.
Roosevelt Island was very fortuante last night.
