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.
