A falling tree killed NYCHA supervisor Leighton Brown, 56, on an overtime shift at the Cypress Hills Houses, in the last week before his promotion took effect.
The storm dropped trees across the region from Saturday into Sunday, and one of them killed Brown in a parking lot in East New York [12][22]. Another fell in Kelly Park Playground in Homecrest, breaking a 7-year-old girl's arm and cutting a 1-year-old boy's cheek [29]. Full-moon high tides flooded Broad Channel and Far Rockaway, where the Post found horseshoe crabs up to Beach Channel Drive and bait fish swimming in driveways [29]. The worst is over: the MTA expects full rush-hour service Monday, though 1 to 2 more inches of rain could fall [22][31].
“He said, 'I just got my transfer approved and I just got my promotion. This is my last week here.'”
“I moved here to Far Rockaway when I was 10, and this is the worst it's been since Sandy.”

The Hochul administration grew a $177 million Deloitte contract to $1.1 billion with an $866 million amendment in August, without a new round of bidding.
The Post reports the Health Department hired Deloitte in 2023 to pull Medicaid applications still handled by counties into one statewide portal, then amended the deal several times [2]. Amending an existing contract is one of the exemptions from the state's competitive-bidding rule, which is why no rebid was required; watchdogs say a change this size should have gotten one anyway [2]. Washington pays 90% of the design and building costs and 75% of operations, according to the department [2].
“In this case, the amendment is more than four times the original price,”
“Once it is complete, this platform will save state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars while allowing us to strengthen the program and reduce the potential for waste, fraud and abuse,”
The rained-out finale left the Yankees at 93-68 after 161 games, and Cam Schlittler opens the Wild Card Series against Boston at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Bronx.
The nor'easter wiped out Sunday's game with Baltimore, and nobody will make it up because it could not change the standings [84]. Max Fried starts Game 2 and Gerrit Cole a Game 3 Thursday if needed in the best-of-three [85]. Aaron Judge, out since straining his right calf Sept. 16, is the question: Aaron Boone said he would not be available for this series, and Judge disputed that the next day [91].
Pinstripe Alley
The Yankees scheduled Josh Hart bobblehead day months ago, before the Knicks won anything, because Hart is the great-nephew of the Yankees great Elston Howard. By Friday he was an NBA champion, and he threw the ceremonial first pitch from the rubber. It was a strike [87].
