LIVE FROM NYC: HURRICANE SANDY

Batten down the hatches! Board up the windows! Hurricane Sandy is set to land in NYC around 12pm EDT tomorrow, but as we've seen countless times before....it's the lead-up to the storm that proves most entertaining. I'll be liveblogging the chaos from my apartment on E 90th Street, in case you're interested in seeing stuffy Park Ave'ers freak out about a little rain/wind.


7:36 PM EDT (10/28/2012) - Subway service has been shut down. MTA hasn't announced when  it will resume or even when they'll be making a decision about reopening. If you are a white person who happens to be stuck above 110th Street, may God have mercy on your soul...you're not going anywhere.

A 24/7 fruit stand packs up in preparation for Hurricane Sandy on 90th Street & 3rd Ave. 
7:52 PM EDT (10/28/2012) - Here's weather.com's impossible to understand "Interactive Tracker" of Sandy's projected path, if you want to play along at home: http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/tracker/2012/sandy

8:02 PM EDT (10/28/2012) - All's quiet on the Eastern Seaboard. Forecasts indicate that the rain should start early tomorrow morning around 2am.

8:21PM EDT (10/28/2012) - Grand Central Station is locked and shut down.
