I'm not one of those nuts who would stay no matter what but I've lived here for 20 years and except for that Nor'easter a few years ago that wound up blowing up to New England and being "The Perfect Storm" movie, big time flooding isn't usually a problem. They showed Water Street being flooded but hey, it is called Water Street for a reason. > 2.

The City used the "zone system" they enforced during the subway strike from a few years ago. There were plenty of cabs. The buses were running in the late afternoon. They hope to have the subways running sometime tomorrow. Bloomberg totally over-reacted on that one. > 3.

Looking at the upstate flooding, nothing is much better. The storm blew through around 8AM, my local coffee (non-Starbucks as there are non in Alphabet City) place was open by noon. There are tree down in Tompkins Square Park but mostly, it was no different than Floyd, Isabel or any of the other storms that ran through here. TVG -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
