Please post what you know. City news websites are getting hammered, and the office doesn’t have a TV. We can’t tell what’s happening.
We’ve just heard it isn’t the main city water tunnel. Major relief.

(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) A broken water main flooded portions of Washington Heights and officials closed the lower level of the George Washington Bridge on Thursday afternoon.
The water main broke at 1:19 p.m. near Amsterdam Avenue and 178th Street, near the entrance to the bridge.
Several feet of water cascaded down Amsterdam, flooding businesses and apartments.
Fire Department spokesman Mike Loughran said there were no immediate reports of injuries. He said five buildings were evacuated.

Okay. Not nearly as serious as we'd feared. Thank you.

Good source for local news in emergencies.
