Ok...here’s one for anyone near NYC..
My friend and her 20 something daughter have had a NYC 5 day trip planned for a long time, see a couple Broadway shows, etc. They are still planning to go—fly Sat from FL.
I think its nuts...Am I overreacting? I can’t imagine being in NYC during a major hurricaine...they are assuming that large hotels have generators.
I personally would cancel the trip, take the travel ins money and reschedule. but then, what do I know.
They would be able to arrive Saturday, hole up in the hotel, and the airport should be open when they fly back out.
But will anything worth seeing be open while they are there?
If it does hit the area, the shows they wish to see may be canceled. Even if they have power at the hotel, how fun is being shut in for five days?
Some airlines are already cancelling their flights.
Not a good idea all! Tell them to cancel!
They are evacuating hospitals in NYC (already). They should stay in FL. NYC is probably the worst city in the country to be in during a disaster. They are expecting to close highways here in CT at midnight Sat.
Sorry, but it shows a dearth of common sense to fly into a major city when a hurricane is bearing down on it. Is your friend a liberal by chance?
