What do you suggest for Manhattan residents living on high floors?

At least our electricity comes through underground cables.

Maybe criss crossing a lot of duct tape on your windows? I’ve seen that done before.

The tunnels NYC underground cables run along could be flooded. Thereby knocking out power.

The higher you are, the higher the winds, and if it floods in you area, those underground cables will be under water.

Fill up your bathtub and sinks with water so you can flush the commode if they cut your water. Probably too late for any food, batteries, candles, etc. You can fill up all your glasses as well. Water may be in short supply for a while.

Yeah, the underground power. Where do you think the water is going to go? You will lose your power.

If you are outside over the next few days you will see more rats than you can imagine coming up from sewers full of water.

I am getting a little pissed at the folks from Fl poo pooing this storm as “just a cat 1.”

If Fla was about to be hit with a blizzard, you would feel as we do. And I have seen you guys drive on 1/4 of snow and its dangerously funny.

Listen to your local alerts. If they say get out of you NY high rise, then get out.
