I think we will have a replay of the Blizzard. Get ready for major power outages and complaints. This is going to overwhelm him. He is stupid for taking this risk, not only with the 911 tech system, but with the actual safety of people. This is more than stupid, it is outright dangerous.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged New Yorkers to prepare for a “large, unpredictable” storm that could rock the city – but stopped short of calling for a full or partial evacuation from low-lying areas.
“If it were to hit land in Baltimore or in Nantucket, New York would just have some heavy rains and a little bit of flooding and a lot of rain," he said. "If it were to hit closer to home, the flooding and rains will get much more problematic.”
The mayor on Friday advised New Yorkers to find out whether they live in an evacuation zone in the event one is called and to gather a so-called “go bag” that includes a flash light, first aid kit, medications and identification among other things.
