MTA shutdown

A bunch of news outlets are reporting that Gov Cuomo has ordered the shutdown of the MTA starting at noon tomorrow, and it is unlikely to be up until mid-day Monday

My grandpa lives in Zone A and in a high rise building and they told them mandatory evacuation anyway.....

Re: MTA shutdown

Honestly I think that even if you are in a high rise on the 13th floor if things get bad they might be stuck with no power and no way out of the surrounding area. Just a thought.

They were just saying the higher the floor the worse the wind. So you don't have to worry about flooding, but you have to worry about glass breaking. so 60 mile wind on the 20th floor could be 100 mile wind.

Mid-monday?! Monday is my first day of work and its downtown...I wouldn't even know if it was cancelled since after my interview I wasn't given much information but the date and time to show up for the week of training. I wouldn't even know where to call to find out.
