Thousands without power, many multiples of that number are stuck at home with no way to go any where. Government officials are instructing residents to stock up and stay home. Given the current state of transportation gridlock, I doubt that there is 2 days worth of groceries and toilet paper per person in NY city to stock up on.
“This is serious. We’re ready for this storm, and we also need Rhode Islanders to be ready,” Gov. Dan McKee said. “The best way to handle this storm is to stay home tomorrow.”
“Here’s what I’m asking New Yorkers: Just stay home,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a news conference Friday. “Just stay home, stock up on food, stock up on gas, stock up on your subscription to Netflix. I don’t want to see Long Island or New York state on the national news where everybody is jammed up on a highway for hours.”
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy echoed Hochul and McKee's words. “This one is a big one. We’re certainly hoping for the best but we are, without question, preparing for the worst," he said in a Friday press conference. “Our advice to everyone is to be prepared to hunker down after you get home tonight. Stay home ... get yourself stocked up.”
