NYC's Grand Central Became A Madhouse The Moment Severe Weather Hit The City
New York City got battered last evening by severe weather, and as a precautionary measure, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority closed train lines that head north out of the city. This promptly turned Grand Central Station into, well, this.
Here's a glimpse:
