There is virtually no longer any way to escape New York.
Headline: Hurricane Sandy forces mass
transit closure, evacuations (note: For those who have not already fled, there
is virtually no longer any way out).
MYFOXNY.COM/AP - Transit officials in New York were carrying out
a total shutdown of subway, bus and train service as Hurricane
Sandy headed to the metropolitan region (The city's mass transit system is the
nation's largest. The subway alone has a daily ridership of more than 5
million). All service was starting to be suspended at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Hurricane
Sandy is headed north from the Caribbean to meet a winter storm and a cold
front. Experts say the rare hybrid storm that results will cause havoc over 800
miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
All mass transit in and out of New York City was
being shut down on Sunday night including MTA, NJ Transit and PATH service.
Major
carriers canceled all flights into and out of three area airports in the New
York metro area.
Bridges and tunnels will be closed on a case-by-case
basis.
