Subways Stop; Mayor says 1400 in NYC Shelters WFUV News
Sidewalks, streets and bridges were nearly empty. Broadway shows and sporting events were canceled. Businesses were closed and subway riders raced to catch the last trains.
In an unprecedented move, more 370,000 people in flood-prone areas were told to get out ahead of the storm. There was no specific number on how many people had followed the order, but only 1,400 people were staying in city shelters. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said by some building estimates, between 50 to 80 percent of people had left.
At the Seventh Avenue station in Brooklyn's Park Slope section, more than a dozen people waited for one of the final subway runs.
"What I'm hoping is that they will run trains for the next hour or two to pick up the stragglers,'' said Kate Sandberg, who was headed to visit a friend.
The city had begged people for days not to wait until the last minute, and offered rides out of the danger area to residents who needed it. Nursing homes and hospitals started evacuating people Thursday.
