As the Northeast braces themselves for Hurricane Sandy, we wanted to share these somewhat eerie photos we found on Curbed. According to Curbed, “The MTA put New Yorkers on house arrest last night, shutting down the entire public transportation system for an indeterminate amount of time because of Hurricane Sandy’s looming arrival.”
From Grand Central to Penn Station, it appears the hallowed halls of New York City’s transportation hubs are on hiatus.
Another New York City landmark that was shut down due to Hurricane Sandy was the New York Stock Exchange, which was last closed for weather conditions in 1985.
We wish everyone in the Northeast who is affected by this storm all the best.
