Last year, during hurricane Irene, was the first time the NYC transit syatem was ever shut down---officials explained then that it takes at least 8 hours to shut down the system and secure all equipment.

Now, there is a strong likelihood of flooding in low lying areas---that will affect the subway. Also, when winds are above 39 MPH trains above ground trains cannot operate safely.

Bloomberg made the right call----I hope Hurricane Sandy turns out to be a dud----but on TV it looks quite ominous.
