Subways

Not that anyone reads my blog for their morning news, but I just wanted to make a comment on this. So, yes, there was a HUGE storm overnight on the East Coast. There was even a tornado in Brooklyn. Yes, it woke me up (the storm, not the tornado). Yes, it is still really freaking hot in the city and now more steamy and smelly than before. So gross. Also, I am a big fun of public transportation, it is one of my favorite things about NYC (and the roads are probably a lot safer without me on them), but let me just show you how confusing it is when something disrupts the transit routes (not to mention that I was stuck underground for 45 minutes, packed onto the train like sardines, got whacked in the face with an old man's backpack and was an hour late to work only to realize that everyone else is working from home today):

Due to severe flooding throughout the subway system, there are extensive delays on all subway lines. Customers are advised when at all possible to use bus service. The detours are as follows:

Oh, also the MTA website was down, so you have to go to a completely different site to get this info.
