When I saw the black waves of the flood lapping at the front door of my apartment last Monday night, I knew that my restaurant, Fort Defiance, was already underwater. I live only a few blocks away from the Fort in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, and on significantly higher ground, so my hopes that Hurricane Sandy would pass us by, like so many storms before, were dashed.
