My daughter is planning on hunkering down and riding out the storm. I hope it stays out to sea and doesn’t come anywhere near the coast, but we’ll see what happens. I hope that anyone trying to get out is able to.
Thanks all for the advice - She got on the 6:50 Metro North train to Poughkeepsie. We live further up the Hudson River Valley about an hour north of there so my husband went to get her at the train station. I am very relieved!! The idea of a 20 year old in NYC if the electricity is out - possible looting ,etc.!! (Shudder) Thanks again for the kind advice!!
PS - My husband was also angry at Bloomberg’s speech - feeling that the tone was rather cavalier, to say the least.
