I love Dune Road.
I love Dune Road too. And Plum Beach which still hasn't recovered from a hurricane several years ago. Hope they're still there when Sandy has passed. |

I actually agree with him shutting it down today. It gave time for people to get home tonight and then it won't catch people AT work tomorrow. |

@CityofHoboken did you mean to type BASEMENT apartments, or literally all apartments on the first floor of a building anywhere in town?

polo, you forget about all the people with plans tonight - sunday night full of shows and dinners and Halloween parties etc - on a perfectly clear calm evening. if people are so stupid to leave work monday in a drizzle not to know they will come home that evening in a hurricane, then let them suffer for their stupidity - why should the rest of us have to. 8 to 12 hours later should have been the shutdown, not now... damn fools. besides these shutdowns should be to learn how to get the system down and back up as quickly as possible, not keep doing the same lame ass dance to the mayor's tune. |

If they made the curfew later, you'd have people ending up stranded or scrambling for ways to get home. If you postponed it until tomorrow, you'd have people who will be stuck because they can't get to work / call out / take care of kids / etc. |

Yeah, they should close the subway Monday night to protect the rush hour. |

You suspect it will take less than 24 hours to fully shut down the subway and bus systems I suppose? If the storm really does come inland tomorrow night, the MTA made the right choice.
I feel for those stranded though |

Shouldn't that say "inconvenience"?  As I was filling my tank yesterday they were putting up similar signs. |

Ugh, this is going to be horrible, even if it isn't as bad as they say. Gas stations will be out of gas, foods stores have no food. What a mess.  |

Sun'10pm analysis of the storm by an actual expert, not a TV ratings whore; » www.wunderground.com/blo ··· rc=sandySandy's storm surge is expected to be at least a foot higher than Irene's. If the peak surge arrives near Monday evening's high tide at 9 pm EDT, a portion of New York City's subway system could flood, resulting in billions of dollars in damage. I give a 50% chance that Sandy's storm surge will end up flooding a portion of the New York City subway system. |

noon monday forest hills - i just came back from my walkabout to the post office, and it was interesting to see what was open closed etc.
CLOSED: housewares, clothing, office supply, resturant, bakery, coffee, anything that caters to mass transit commuters.
OPEN: major drug store chains, major banks, fast food chains, bagel shops, major grocery chains, fruit/veggie stands
it's just a windy drizzle thus far, so many people are out jogging, getting groceries, and it's like a sunday morning traffic flow. people seem to be in good spirits - we had plenty of notice so whatever we could do has been done already, so for now it's C'est la vie. |

Holy Hurricane, the winds just picked up incredibly---we had a short power outage and everything came back, but with winds like this, it's just a matter of time. con Ed says the majority of their customers without power are in Westchester, so I'm not real optimistic.
Stay safe everyone, and see ya on the other side. |
