Via Garibaldi 8 Posted September 2, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2016 Supposed to be lots of rain Sunday and Monday, but nothing too severe... Certainly not like Sandy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryB Posted September 2, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2016 mta.info is still showing "happy labor day" and the service changes for the holiday... but nothing for the storm yet I think some actions are needed, especially "MODERATE TO MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING.....ARE POSSIBLE" said in the weather advisory http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=NYZ075&warncounty=NYC047&firewxzone=NYZ075&local_place1=3%20Miles%20S%20Ridgewood%20NY&product1=Tropical+Storm+Watch&lat=40.664&lon=-73.8955#.V8m7_mXHsr0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted September 2, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2016 If we have another Hurrican Sandy... Goodbye 34 St-Hudson Yards, Rector St, South Ferry Loop, New South Ferry (again...), Mountage, Canarsie Tube, Clark St Tubes, and so forth.

Don't forget Harlem – 148th Street, 145th Street, and how could you forget the Rockaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted September 2, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2016 Who COULD forget the Rockaway's? It's a shame I didn't get the chance to catch the shuttle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyboy515 Posted September 2, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 2, 2016 Guys, do you understand that the chances of Hermine being another Sandy is pretty low... but heavy rain and strong winds is likely in NYC. Not Sandy-like winds and rain though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyboy515 Posted September 2, 2016 Share #11 Posted September 2, 2016 No they don't... Even at this point, there are way too many possibilities to even make an assumption, so basically, anything can happen. I may be wrong, you may be wrong, so who knows...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Actually, the last forecast I saw had the storm moving out and NYC and the shore being spared, however, beach erosion could still prove to be a big issue.

Goodbye 34 St-Hudson Yards, Rector St, South Ferry Loop, New South Ferry (again...), Mountage, Canarsie Tube, Clark St Tubes, and so forth. Half the point of the thorough construction work on affected stations has been to prepare the system for future storms. Fix and Fortify is the operative term, which is what happened in the Montague and others. 34th St. is not in a serious flood zone and was built with flooding in mind, and the Canarsie can flood all they want...still being rebuilt.

HenryB Posted September 3, 2016 Share #20 Posted September 3, 2016 Even offical forecasters aren't sure how close the storm could move toward tri-state, so I don't know how some people here could say it is or isn't another Sandy http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCDAT4+shtml/030300.shtml? The new forecast track shows a little more bend back toward the west than the previous track, then it is a little slower to move the system to the east-northeast later in the period. It should be noted that the GFS and ECMWF both bring the center of Hermine closer to the coast than the current forecast, and if this trend continues it may require some adjustment to the track in later advisories.

HenryB Posted September 3, 2016 Share #23 Posted September 3, 2016 Well, Hurricane Sandy also involved a snowstorm... ehhh.....not the point.....indeed Sandy brought snow to VA/ West VA but not NYC. This is not a weather thread so we only focus on the impact of storms to tri-state and its tranpsortation systems. btw, MTA haven't yet told their passengers to stay tuned that weather might affect their travel plan for weekend...not very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the comparison you want to make, don't complain when it gets evaluated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
