Governor Cuomo just announced that the Holland Tunnel and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel will be closed at 2 p.m. today because they would be the most prone to flooding. There was no mention of the Lincoln Tunnel, which presumably will remain open and could be the one life-line for Manhattan as the bridges will also close should wind speeds surpass 60 miles per hour. Earlier today, a wind speed of 51 miles per hour.

“Citizens should not be on the roads, you really do not need to be on the roads,” Governor Cuomo said, stressing the roads need to be kept clear to allow room for emergency vehicles.
