Mike Bloomberg: Hey, Surfers? If You Surf During The Hurricane, We Won’t Jeopardize Our Lives To Save You
New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg addressed New Yorkers around 9:30 a.m. ET today (in both English and Spanish) during a live conference from Coney Island.
He urged New York City residents in mandatory evacuation zones to leave as soon as possible, as the MTA completely shut down service at noon today and not heeding a call to evacuate is indeed illegal. He also (and as a Floridian, I absolutely echo his concern here) advised everyone to prepare for the possibility that power may go out during and for some time after the hurricane. (Some suggestions for how to deal: Make sure you have non-perishable food items; plenty of water for drinking and, yes, flushing; wet naps or rubbing alcohol for hygienic purposes; a battery-operated radio and flashlight; cash, preferably stored in plastic; fully-charged cell phones). The Mayor stressed that lower Manhattan would be especially susceptible to a loss of power.
He also had a special message for surfers who might want to take advantage of waves following the storm:
And for the surfers: We all know that it’s a lot of fun to catch a big wave. This storm is dangerous and we just don’t have the resources. We don’t want to put our first responders’ lives in jeopardy to try and save you.
That’s natural selection at work, babies.
Below is Bloomberg’s full conference:
