Escape From New York Becoming Problematic As Holland, Brooklyn Battery Tunnels Close
Remember the wetsuit purchased many years ago for that trip to Hawaii and never used once? It may be time to find where it is and clean it up, as "escaping from New York", in a worst case scenario is getting so problematic, swimming through the Hudson or East Rivers may soon be the only option. Moments ago, in a press conference, Andrew Cuomo reported that while the storm is behaving as predicted, as of 2pm today both the Holland and Brooklyn Battery tunnels will be closed. And if these are down, the Lincoln and Queens-Midtown can't be far behind, especially if the flood continues as expected.

Liquid Cloverfield, bitchez!
Transport, this is Solo. Better take off, I can't get to you. I'll get her out on the Falcon.
If the flooding takes hold, swimming through the river will be easy. All you got to do is go to the street.
Now Bob in accounting, who made sure every fucking person in the office saw the pictures of him kayaking last summer, can show whether he's as good as he said he is!
Maybe they should borrow some pumps from New Orleans.
Boy, clean up is going to be a bitch.
To all New Yorkers:
I'd keep playin'... I don't think the hard stuff's comin' down for awhile...
& besides... God would never disrupt the best trading day of my life!...

This is PAF, just did a roundtrip through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel into Manhattan, to the office, and back over the Queensboro Bridge. Not a lick of flooding yet. From my vantage point coming back over the bridge I did notice the East River seemed a bit swollen. Not yet overflowing as of about a half hour ago.
Nah, this is the final scrubbing needed after OWS fecaled the place up.
the goldman sux scum breeds pestilence and filth of a calibre far beyond anything a small gathering of dissafected youth could ever hope to produce.
It was pretty fecaled up before OWS showed up. In fact, I recall OWS was a response to the general fecaling up of the world courtesy of our friends at the banking cartel.
Just a BETA test for implementing Martial Law on Fascist Bloomberg's disarmed population.
Swim either river at your own peril. Both are biohazards as it is.
If this were a movie it would be the perfect time for a failed state, like "Iran" for example, to do some damage.
By "failed state", you mean the "United States".
malikai
Could be "Syria".
I here they have Chemical weapons smuggled out of Iraq just before the invasion.
Then again "Sudan" is kind of pissed for the bombing raid.
Could be an Axis of Re-evil.
My vote for failed states would be Missisippi and perhaps Maine....
Honorable mention to Arkansas....
There's a lot of failed banks in Georgia....
Malikai,
its pretty hard to get more failed than 16T in debt and adding 1T per year to that debt.
When it comes to failure, America is number one!
In about maybe a decade, we'll be doing the housekeeping/landscaping for the Singhs & the Chins.

prob good move to close trading today....potential collapse of italian pro-brussels govt, led by convicted billionaire populist....with few human hands to battle the algos. flashcrsh averted! but where was it 10 days later?
Long straws!
Excludes govt. ammo delivery transports.
Have they drafted the insurance company bailout plan yet?
Now your house and mortgage will share the same disposition: underwater.
The Fed vaults are going to flood. I just know it. Germany will have to wait years for confirmation that the gold is all there.
Does Tungsten rust?
or float!
Dear Congress: While our vaults were underwater, the dogfish ate all the gold. Sorry, no audit can be done now.
Dissolved is going to be the new vaporized.
They will just let the basement stay flooded. After all, the gold will always be there, you can trust the Federal Reserve.
I've sewn my gold into my wetsuit... dammit!
Please stick a gps-tracker to your suit and link your real time position on this site.
A team of ZHers will be sent for an extraction mission shortly.
Note: the body will be recovered only if it's still inside the wetsuit.
Planning on pulling an Osama?
You know you're a stacker when your wetsuit's weights are gold, not lead.
Silver's anti-microbial properties would be better suited to this particular task.
"especially if the flood 'continues' as expected"
shouldn't that read "happens"
Maybe New Yorkers can build rafts out of all the garbage piled on the curb. Or day old bagels.
Bloomberg banned all the 32oz cups so bailing is going to take a lot longer this time.
i hope the sewers don't back up
Holy Shit from Goldman kills.
Shit will get real when the 50' alligator comes out!

We almost feel guilty here in Nevada, sunny, no wind, close to 70 degrees later. Almost, but not quite.
You still have Harry Reid, though.
In Atlanta there are 40-45 mph wind gusts. Makes for interesting landings at Hartsfield.
Well at least the flood will wash away the urine smell in Manhattan.
It will. However, the smell will be replaced with the smell of sewage, oil, and other petrochemicals as is normal. You'll probably want the urine smell back.
<<< Urine
<<< sewage
What to do, what to do...
Hey look, it's the 2012 presidential ballot.
...and with either choice you get hanging dingleberries.
Well played!
My first trip to Manhattan was in 1982, during a garbage strike. The one thing I've always remembered was the overwhelming stench of rotting garbage, urine and exhaust fumes. I also had an encounter with a pickpocket and had my new Nikon camera stolen. Plus, I had just quit smoking. It was a perfect New York experience.
How many days did the watch work, the one you bought on Canal Street?
Nothing tells time quite like a "Goochie" watch!

Funny how New Jersey always becomes the shelter for New York City.
There should be an exit toll instead of an entrance toll for the Lincoln and Holland.

Looks like the national debt!
Awh who wants to drive in the tunnels when they have water in them anyways.
Probably one of thew biggest impacts is going to be rise in the price of weed in NYC as all the local grow rooms are going to have their flower cycles hosed by the power outages and all the girls are gonna turn hermaphrodite and start growing balls.
Dunno, I could see shit weed being really cheap early on...then through the roof.
The more hipsters drown, the better.
Those of you that are rooting for deaths resulting from this disaster disgust me.
Wah. You should be on the HuffPo blog.
This comment coming from someone with an avatar called Darkness. Anyways, where exactly are the posts that are "rooting for death" that you so vehemently speak of? I see them not. What I do see are some humorous posts to which there is really nothing wrong with. No one on the east coast has gotten hurt or died that I have heard of yet and I seriously doubt anyone on ZH would poke fun at it if they did. I say loosen up and make sure your own family preparedness is in order.
who's the funny guy who decided to pack so many people onto a tiny island flirting with sea level?
they can make a decent raft out of pallets of hundreds and float all the gold out of danger of going under water, so to speak. in that way they can also claim that the dollar reserves support gold, not the other way around.
...gurgle.... gurgle.... glug.... glug....
