The highly anticipated arrival of Hurricane Sandy came earlier today, as the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory at approximately 5:00 pm EDT that Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy had made landfall along the coast of southern New Jersey.
About 120 miles north at NYU’s Washington Square campus, the impact of Sandy is being felt.
According to a number of student sources, power has been lost in numerous residence halls, including Brittany, Carlyle Court, Coral Towers, Gramercy Green, Greenwich Hotel, Palladium, Second Street, The Senior House at 13th Street, and Third North Residence Halls.
Three windows at Coral Towers Residence Hall were damaged but have since been repaired.
More updates to come.
