The first part of the photos readers have been sending us over the duration of the storm. This first group starts with some from Friday as the storm got started.

I walked around downtown for a little bit around 1pm this afternoon and took a few photos. Share your storm photos with us in our Flickr Group.
The last RIPTA buses of the day were making their way into Kennedy Plaza, all “Out of Service.”
Kennedy Plaza was pretty desolate.

While we’re waiting for Sandy, let’s look at some photos. First up, this image of Sandy herself (himself?) from NASA:

NOAA’s GOES-13 satellite captured this visible image of the massive Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 28 at 1615 UTC (12:02 p.m. EDT). The line of clouds from the Gulf of Mexico north are associated with the cold front that Sandy is merging with. Sandy’s western cloud edge is already over the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern U.S.
If you carefully take photos related to Hurricane Sandy this week, please share them in our Flickr Group

Saturday, September 29th, FirstWorks will transform Greater Kennedy Plaza. Bandaloop (shown in the video above) performing acrobatics off the side of Providence’s iconic Downtown skyline buildings will be one of more than a dozen performances and installations taking place throughout the Plaza and surrounding area.
Events begin at 4pm and run through the evening. Visit FirstWorks a full list of events, times, and locations.
Download the official map and schedule. 
RIPTA buses will be moved out of Kennedy Plaza on Saturday for the event. Visit RIPTA.com for details on your bus route and where to pick it up in the Kennedy Plaza area.
More information from FirstWorks:
In the blink of an eye, Providence has shed its summer skin. Autumn begins our count-down to 200+ artists and performers gathering for FirstWorks Festival: On the Plaza on Saturday, September 29th from 4-11pm. In a few short weeks, Greater Kennedy Plaza, Providence’s historic and transit hub, will be a vast urban stage set for a kinetic extravaganza!
Come to see, hear, dance, and savour — this is a festival where civic and celebratory go hand-in-hand. Thanks to a “creative placemaking” grant from the NEA, this year’s festival culminates months of art projects and the re-opening of Burnside Park with an astonishing line-up of artists.
Street opera staged on a retro-fitted monster truck? We’ve got it. Rappelling dancers dangling 30-stories in the air? Why not? Bhangra-funk and swinging salsa from the five boroughs? Oh yes…
See what happens when FirstWorks Festival guest artists mash-up with Ocean State stars, including Waterfire, the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, Brown/Trinity MFA Programs and Festival Ballet Providence to light up the heart of Providence!
