Моя школа объявила понедельник выходным днём в связи с ураганом

Такого никогда не было. Дождь или снег, мы всегда на работе. Обычно когда все школы в Вестчестер каунти закрыты в связи со снегопадом, мы работаем. Но у нас специфика - boarding school. То есть дети-то всё равно на кампусе, и лучше бы взрослые были рядом.

Я думаю, что такое оказалось возможно потому что никаких студентов в понедельник не учат на кампусе.

Вона чего люди пишут про ураган

2 million ordered to leave as Irene takes aim

Hurricane warnings were issued from North Carolina to New York, and watches were posted farther north, on the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard off Massachusetts. Evacuation orders covered at least 2.3 million people, including 1 million in New Jersey, 315,000 in Maryland, 300,000 in North Carolina, 200,000 in Virginia and 100,000 in Delaware.

"This is probably the largest number of people that have been threatened by a single hurricane in the United States," said Jay Baker, a geography professor at Florida State University.

New York City ordered more than 300,000 people who live in flood-prone areas to leave, including Battery Park City at the southern tip of Manhattan, Coney Island and the beachfront Rockaways. But it was not clear how many would do it, how they would get out or where they would go. Most New Yorkers don't have a car.
