Apparently nyc.gov can't handle all the citizens of NYC checking it at once. This isn't very good, for something that's supposed to be the go-to site for emergency information. Particularly when you check out the news stations, and they link you to nyc.gov.
Where are the evacuation zones? Check nyc.gov - but it's down. Where are the shelters? Same. Where are the evac routes? Same. The news stations all link you to nyc.gov, which is excellent from the point of view of consistency and ease of production, but not very good at all when eight million people all try to do it at once and the server crashes.
We live on high ground, and we've stocked up on baked beans and toilet paper, so unless the winds are high enough to break the windows, we should be fine.
