one economist that we saw, peter morisi, he puts economic losses for this storm as high as $35 billion5 billion, carol. >> wow. of course, you're not at the new york stock exchange because, of course, it's closed today. has that ever happened before? >> it has happened before. it is really rare to see weather be the reason for the new york stock exchange to shut down. but it has happened before. in 1985 hurricane gloria hit. that shut down the nyse. before that a snowstorm in 1969. you know, as far as the nyse sees it, it's really all about safety. you know, can these traders get to the floor? even electronic trading, too. it's not just the nyse. the nasdaq is also closed today. not sure yet about tomorrow. but likely the new york stock exchange will be closed. the storm isn't expected to hit new york city until later this afternoon. so those days could be changed as well. interestingly enough, the futures market, carol, that opened yesterday as normal. it just closed at around 9:15 this morn ing. if you're interested, dow futures are down about 80 points. not a big deal which is good.
