Would love the Mets to weigh in on this statement. He commented how it will be a 'slow surge' versus a Hurricane surge so it's not as dangerous...

Hailstorm Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Bloomberg would probably act differently if there was a hurricane watch. At the very least, there should be inland hurricane-force wind watches issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldalex Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's very possible that he feels burnt by what happened with Irene, he isn't seeing the need for such a mobilization again/he wants to save money. Though if the MTA cancels all service tomorrow, he may be forced to change his mind and close up shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Bloomberg is an @$$. He's underestimating a storm that will probably be worse than Irene. According to him the surge isn't going to be as bad as Irene, but most forecasts are calling for a similar if not worse storm surge than Irene.
