Amtrack has cancelled many routes and will probably cancel more in the northeast corridor soon.


NYC subways and rapid transit close Saturday noon. Since many NYC residents don't have any other transportation, mandatory evacuation of the most vulnerable areas of NYC (orange on the map) is ordered to be completed by 11AM Saturday. A few areas that won't likely be innundated but would be cut off will also be evacuated at the same time. Good grief, this seems so organized at the front end. I hope things go well in all those shelters for the 36 hours or so it's going to take.
