Good morning on this stormy Monday.

The cleanup continues after Thursday’s steam pipe explosion that coated cars, buildings and people with asbestos-filled muck in the Flatiron district.

Fifth Avenue from 19th Street to 22nd Street is still closed to pedestrian traffic, and access to 20th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues is restricted. Bus service has been restored along Fifth Avenue.

The exteriors of all the buildings in the three-block hot zone have been washed, according to the Emergency Management Department, but the city is continuing to inspect and monitor nearby building interiors. Many residents and workers are still displaced and are anxious about returning to the area.

The entire cleanup could take a few more days, if not longer, said Nancy Silvestri, a spokeswoman for the department. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.
