I see both sides also. NYC is the city that NEVER sleeps. I could see why he would have want to go forward. But at the same time as someone who has regularly dealt with hurricanes and whose father is a first responder and is never home for hurricanes, I wouldn't want resources used for helping folks to be diverted and he can't say they wouldn't be because they would.
I know NY doesn't have the infrastructure that we have in FL (post-Andrew). But when people tell you to evacuate low-lying areas don't stay to protect things! It's not worth it. The mother who lost her two boys when she had prior notice and the resources to leave is a tragic example of the consequences.
