News just in: Mayor of NY declared a mandatory evacuation of sections of the city. Asking people to start leaving now, and for sure to start by tomorrow afternoon when the transit system will be shut down. Sounds like Bloomberg wants the people to get serious, get out, and not take any chances. Question is...where in the world are all those homeless people going to go and how are they going to get there? Hope they do a better job than the mayor of New Orleans did in getting people out. (Of course, that was Bush’s fault, LOL /sarc)
New York City has lots of high ground. It’s just a matter of getting there. New Orleans had little high ground and most of it was below sea level. No comparison.
If any looters get brave to the point of suicidal, I am quite sure that there will be several upscale shops robbed of their priceless items.
