now, i know new yorkers and i know new yorkers are tough, and i know their first instinct is we don't have to go anywhere, we're going to batten down the hatches and we're going to be fine. i understand that instinct. and i understand the questioning of the weather reports. i got into a lot of trouble once with all the weather forecasters across the nation when i suggested that a weather forecast turned out to be incorrect. i understand that also. but we're talking about tomorrow and we're talking about the day after tomorrow. so this is not a long-term projection. normally when you get this close to the event, the forecasts tend to be accurate. the track can move plus or minus, but the basic track doesn't change. so, please, take this seriously. yes, new york tough, we'll stay in place, we'll beat the storm. new york tough also means new york smart, and new york smart today means get out of harm's way, please. with that, i'll turn it over to questions on this topic, please. >> thank you, governor. if you would like to ask a question, please use the raised hand function at the bottom
