Must get on with it! Naomi Watts and Liev Schrieber stock up on supplies in New York following Superstorm Sandy

They were forced to flee their house after the devastating Superstorm Sandy left them without any electrical power.

And it looks like Naomi Watts and Liev Schrieber are getting by just fine without their SoHo, New York home comforts.

The famous couple – who have checked themselves into five star accommodation – seem to be making sure their family is well looked after throughout the difficult time for America’s East Coast.

Australian actress Naomi was spotted leaving the Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and was looking on fine form in her winter attire. 

 

The 44-year-old donned stretchy trousers with wedge boots and kept the upper half of her body warm in a sheepskin lined coat, purple scarf and floppy hat.

Considering the circumstances, the blonde looked rather cheerful as she carried a brown shoulder bag over to some chained up bicycles.

Naomi only recently returned from Spain where she was promoting her new film The Impossible, in which she plays natural disaster survivor Maria Belon.

Dr Belon, her husband Henry and their three sons were holidaying in Thailand when the Indian Ocean tsunami hit on December 26, 2004.

Meanwhile her other half Liev, 45, was intent on making sure his boys stayed entertained after being taken away from their normal routine.

The power outage meant that their children got to stock up on their toy collection and he was seen returning from the shops laden with a huge bag.

He came back from a trip to the Lego store holding onto his son five-year-old Alexander’s hand while a nanny walked with Sam, four.

Liev wore prescription glasses before taking them off but also donned beige trousers and shoes with a black T-shirt, padded coat and cap.

I think this article is rather a misrepresentation. As reported elsewhere, Naomi and Liev fled uptown to the the posh Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side when their neighborhood lost electricity. Hundred of thousands of NYers who live downtown like myself who did not have friends to stay with or could not afford a hotel are the true heros. We had no electricity, heat, phone service, and some had no running water or hot water, for over four days -- some still have no electricity. So while I don't begrudge Naomi and Liev fleeing to a very exclusive 5 star hotel, please it is an insult to NYers to hold them up suffering any hardships or as any sort of heros.

DM, why do you feel the need to describe what people are wearing in the minutest detail? We have eyes, we can see quite clearly what they have on ta.

stocking up on supplies at the lego store. Most of Manhattan and Brooklyn, Bronx are just dandy. Its like nothing happened. Yet, you go to Staten island and parts of Queens and its like a war zone. And forget NJ. And DM, its not a difficult time for the US East coast. Just a very small portion of it. But that portion is a mess. I do love the fact that they are getting by, by checking into a hotel.

I don't think you can stock up on supplies at the Lego store. Who writes these captions, a blind duck?

I like the idea of getting on just fine is simply booking yourself into a 5 star hotel.
