(26,366 posts)Staten Island is connected to other land masses by 4 vehicular bridges, including the Verrazano Narrows bridge which, at the
time of its completion in 1964, was the longest suspension bridge in the world (a title it held until 1981).
Bridges:

Bayonne_Bridge ( fourth-longest steel arch bridge in the world - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayonne_Bridge )

Also there was no 'mandatory evacuation' order for the entire island only low-lying parts.
And you know Manhattan is an island too, right ?
