NEW YORKNEW YORK Much of New York was plunged into darkness Monday by a superstorm that overflowed the city's historic waterfront, flooded the financial district and subway tunnels and cut power to nearly a million people.
The city had shut its mass transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway and ordered hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave home to get out of the way of the superstorm Sandy as it zeroed in on the nation's largest city. Residents spent much of the day trying to salvage normal routines, jogging and snapping pictures of the water while officials warned the worst of the storm had not hit.

 
I get tired of hearing about stupid New York weather... I just don't care. Report that crap on the local news unless it really is something awesome. I mean a Cat 1 hurricane that turned immediately into a storm?

This reminds me of that time they talked about how the city smelled for weeks only to finally blame it on New Jersey...

thank you for posting something that made no mention of "3 feet of water on the floor of the nyse" and backing up my initial assertion that said claim was bullshit

There was an article but I didn't post it because I wasn't sure it was factual.

NYSE under three feet water

Remember when President Grover Cleveland ran for a second consecutive term, Jack the Ripper spread terror in London and Kaiser Wilhelm II became German emperor? Yes, it's been that long.
On Monday, shortly after midday, the New York Stock Exchange announced that it would close stock trading for a second day Tuesday because of a once-in-a-century storm that saw the floor of the NYSE under three feet of water.

You must be making this up. All we're hearing about is how high the winds were.

"The storm that made landfall in New Jersey on Monday evening with 80 mph sustained winds killed at least 16 people in seven states, cut power to more than 7.5 million homes and businesses from the Carolinas to Ohio, caused scares at two nuclear power plants and stopped the presidential campaign cold."

Nope, not making shit up. It may have been at 80mph at landfall, but it didn't stay that way for long. I was watching the graphics on TV so the little troll can't ask for a link. Trust me, I have experience with hurricanes having lived through more than my fair share including Katrina. Yes, there was damage and in the Northeast it has more to do with the population density than with the power of the storm.

It weakened very quickly which the forecasters said wouldn't happen and it moved extremely fast which is a good thing. They are hyping this thing to death.
