re: #93 marjoriemoon

I agree that it’s probably coming as a Cat 1, and that most of the wind will be East of NYC proper, but Bloomberg isn’t taking any chances after the drubbing he took over the blizzard disaster response. It also has to do with the astronomical high tides predicted and that because this storm is so large, that the storm surge may be sufficient to flood those low lying areas - and potentially damage the subway system, particularly in Lower Manhattan.
