SANDY - if you live in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC

[tk2kewl]

Check http://gis.nyc.gov/oem/he for info on evacuating.

I expect the mayor to order evacuations from the red zone A on the map.

Let me know if you have any problems using the map.

7. Thanks.

My sons there. Living on his own truly for the first time.

Glad to see he at least isn't in a danger zone. But still told him to stock up on staples... He thinks I worry too much. :sigh:

They never understand until they become parents.

8. The map is for a...

HURRICANE...not for a tropical storm. BIG difference.

9. the map is for SANDY

[SkyAintFalling]

10. The map presumes...

HURRICANE scenario...which Sandy will NOT be upon arrival in NYC.

[tk2kewl]

13. how eactly does it presume a hurricane?

the map was built to specifications calculated by nyc oem this week for SANDY

if it's the title content of the search form, oh well, i don't decide on the copy - get over it

[SkyAintFalling]

14. Bloomberg et al...

...would have evacuated Gene Kelly from "Singing in the Rain" if they'd had their druthers.

21. The evacuation zones are based on elevation and flood potential

17. Both my mom and I are on very high ground, but I'm still terrified as to what it will do to the city

and worried about the winds

[speedoo]
