A huge storm is coming. New York City is getting ready for Sandy and shutting down. Mayor Bloomberg held a press conference Sunday morning to announce the mandatory evacuation of New York City residents in low-lying areas. The NOAA is not taking the storm lightly. They are saying the storm surge could be "life-threatening" and that wind will be at hurricane strength when it makes landfall. The Metro Transit Authority suspended service of all subways, trains and buses ahead of Sandy and announced they won't resume service until 12 hours after the storm has ended. Because of that decision, schools in New York City, including NYU, have been cancelled in advance of tomorrow's storm.
The author, Connor Simpson, gives information about the storm. There are places to learn about the storm that could greatly benefit people in New York City. Also there are lots of updates about the storm.
