Is there a site that shows the potentially dangerous areas? Daughter works down @ Washington Square, just moved to apt on Upper West Side (don’t ask!).
We’re to talk tonight, but I really think if they haven’t gotten out by now they might as well sit tight Fortunately, her husband has a LOT more sense on these things than she. With public transit about to shut down, these kids (and you) won’t have much choice but to just sit it out.
I lived in NYC as a kid (decades and decades ago) with some of those big ‘canes that hit the E Coast and have no recollection of subways being shut down, ever.
Don't panic...here's a life-saving tip. Just turn on the tap and fill up whatever jugs/containers you have around the house. Chill and serve. Okay to drink warm if you lose power.
They are shutting down the subways because of the litigous attitudes of modern NYers. When we were kids, if people got in trouble, they blamed themselves, not the subway or the local government.
If she’s on the Upper West Side, I predict that she will be FINE. If she was living in Brighton Beach, I’d worry. Just tell her to stay away from the windows.
I’ve sat out several hurricanes and blizzards in NYC. The worst, actually, was the 1992 nor’easter that really shook Manhattan. But we all survived. Your daughter will, too!
Good luck; don’t worry; keep in touch, please?
The idea that I am getting is: if the eye hits Manhattan, as predicted, it will be different from previous storms that have gone through (Carol, Donna, and the 1938 storm, included)
