"Entire 4' x 11', 500-lb (1.2 x 3.4 m, 227 kg) windowpanes detached from the building and crashed to the sidewalk hundreds of feet below. Police had to close off surrounding streets whenever winds reached 45 mph (72 km/h)."
From Wiki.
That’s EXACTLY what my fear is ... those huge office (or apt) building windows just flying thru the air, crashing below. Walking around NYC or any city in Sandy’s path, will be dangerous. Hope everyone just stays put.
