Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Jan 31 17:03:29 2015, in response to Re: SNOW Shutdowns, posted by Andrew Saucci on Sat Jan 31 11:11:32 2015. Sandy and Irene were two COMPLETELY different animals where the entire system HAD to be shut down as it turned out even if people (including me at the time) said otherwise. The MTA may have gotten away with it when Gloria (which WAS a Catergory 2 Hurricane) hit in 1985 and when Floyd hit in 1999, but Irene actually was a direct hit on NYC (and the MTA was very lucky that was only a Tropical Storm and not the Category 2 Hurricane it was forecast to be when the closure was announced) and we all know what Sandy did.This was a SNOWSTORM where the underground portions CAN RUN. MUCH DIFFERENT from a Sandy/Irene situation that absolutely requires a shutdown because flooding is much more of a threat than snow underground. |
