Bad news from battery park. Transformers are beginning to blow in the subways.

According to WABC7 transformers in the subways have exploded, and water is beginning to creep into the subway system. Nightmare maybe coming true. God help the city if this report is true.

1. Last I heard, they were standing by to shut off the grids

when/if this happened.

2. Yeah. WTF. I thought they were cutting the power before hand.

7. It happened faster than they thought it would, perhaps

Shudder. Apocalypse New York City -- again. At least this time they all had warning.

4. This has not been confirmed , but the reporter was being evacuated when this happen.

5. That means getting the trains running will entail a lot more than pumping the water out

Bummer.

Those tunnels are being pumped constantly under normal conditions. With the pumps out, the damage is going to be severe.

8. I feel sorry for the Mole People

Many will never know about the flooding until it's too late to escape.
