Exactly:The MTA never screwed up like they did on any of the other storms. The 2010 storm had a special set of circumstances caused in my view entirely by the Christmas Holiday. Between people having family/religious commitments and the lack of normal media being available because of that, it likely was not realized until Christmas Night (when newscasts finally did come on at 11:00 PM) by many how much that storm had exploded even if those of us who did follow more closely knew what was about to happen at least 12-15 hours earlier. That delay is what in my view led to the problems that we saw with the stuck trains in 2010 that never happened in previous storm and those happened on the OUTSIDE portions. And yes, if that had not been the case, it might have been Irene or Sandy with flooding. This storm fizzling out as it has, however, could have major blowback for Cuomo in a lot of people PO'ed, especially if they now have to go into work on Super Bowl weekend to make up for not being in during the week with him possibly being warned by Wall Street to ONLY close the underground portions in the future if it's a Sandy-like situation where flooding is a potential major issue. |
