What if Wall Street is flooded out?

What would Pat Robertson say?

Broadway shut down -Stock Market shut down - schools and universities shut down- buses and subways shut down - mandatory evacuation for all of Battery Park. New York has been shut down.

Stay safe DUers

Hubby and I expect a hurricane in San Diego soon. The track has shifted.
