A Prayer for First Responders:

Father in Heaven,
Please make [our first responders and emergency officials] strong when others are weak,
brave when others are afraid
and vigilant when others are distracted by the chaos.
Provide comfort and companionship to their families when they must be away.
Serve beside them and protect them, as they seek to protect others.
Amen

adapted slightly from a prayer by the Rev. Robert A Crutchfield. found here: http://community.christianemergencynetw ... rayer.html

Thank you, _____ ____ also used the term "dodged a bullet" about Katrina. I see no one is saying that about NYC; I read a few writing, and heard a few saying*, "its only a category 1 storm, how bad can it get?" & "...we go through these every couple of years!" We are now witnessing how bad it can get when an area DOESN'T "get them every year" and the storms are not the norm.

*Individuals I know, here in Florida.

Reports on Twitter that reports of water on the NYSE trading floor are false.

14.18 feet at Kings pint and rising fats.

Per Channel 8 out of New Haven, CT - Coast Guard is looking for a missing swimmer from Milford who was out in Long Island Sound. Friends lost site of him and called 911.

I knew this was going to be bad, but this has even exceeded my expectations if even half of what is being reported is accurate. Lots of prayers to everyone up there.

TWC: No flooding in the Exchange Building, itself.

[karenfromheaven]

TWC: Scott Cone from CNBC says there is no flooding on the stock exchange. FWIW

[Terry]

TWC/CNBC reporter saying there is NO water on the floors of Stock Exchange. Not sure of what is fact and unknown.

NJ reporting four deaths.

Reports on Twitter that reports of water on the NYSE trading floor are false.

This is false, just confirmed via a CNBC reporter on TWC.

This is utterly horrifying, happening in the biggest city in the U.S.

If reports like this are true, this may be catastrophic.

"@TonyJMainolfi: Per WNBC: Reports of homes with water up to attics on Staten island. NYPD doing rescues #Sandy."

Oh! OK...Just the basement housing all the electrical switchgear...maybe?

Who would go swimming in this, sheesh.

[Terry]

I just posted the same thing. But I must say that TWC reporting has slowed this evening so who knows?

Wow, the bus station and train platforms are below that level also the chiller plant is below that there are 8 levels down below the WTC plaza . I have to believe the water will be getting down there. With no power sump pumps not on generators will not be running either. Stay safe NY
