![]() “It’s pretty necessary that we don’t see that type of damage again,” he says. But the agency has made big strides since Sandy hit, says Ortiz, and the system is in much better shape than it was in 2012. There is no one-size-fits-all approach or mechanism."Īs all L-train riders know too well, permanently hardening the system against flooding will take the MTA many years-and may never really stop, as climate change will bring ever more severe and frequent storms. "We have different-sized staircases and vent covers. ”Some parts of our system are 111 years old,” says Kevin Ortiz, a spokesperson for the MTA. To capture water before it trickles into the subway, the agency is lining the lips of about 450 vulnerable manholes with special pans, while in-house engineers are testing out different solutions for covering thousands of street-level vents. It’s a slow, complicated process figuring out the best way to waterproof the subway, which has an estimated 5,600 street-level openings vulnerable to floods, according to the Wall Street Journal. The plugs are capable of stopping not just water but also smoke and gas, handy in the event of a terrorist attack. MTA has also tested another ILC Dover product charmingly known as a “ resilient tunnel plug”-a super-tough inflatable dam that expands from a wall container to fill the full circumference of a subway tube section. Also in the works are Portal Flex-Gates (pictured at the top), a larger-scale version that function like garage doors to cover rail and vehicle tunnels such as the Brooklyn Battery and Queens-Midtown. They’re mostly around lower Manhattan, where the greatest flood risk is, but certain coast-adjacent stations in Harlem and Brooklyn will also be kitted out. ![]() Two of those tubes have been fixed, three more are underway, and there’s still a lot more work to come: In July, much to Brooklynites’ ire, the MTA announced plans to shut down the L train for 18 months in 2019 in order to repair outstanding Sandy-related harm to the Canarsie Tunnel.įlex-Gates have now been installed in 14 subway station entrances around New York City, and by the end of the year, another 50 or more should be in place. Since then, the Metropolitan Transit Authority has been spending about $4 billion in mostly federal disaster funds to repair and harden its train yards and subway tunnels. Between the total devastation of the South Ferry Station (which is still under reconstruction) and the nine flooded tunnels, the metro system sustained billions of dollars in damage. Millions of gallons of seawater poured down subway entrances, manholes, and thousands of other openings to the subterranean spaces below. When the hurricane hit in October 2012, rain and storm surge turned impermeable asphalt and concrete streets into rivers. Superstorm Sandy did a number on the New York City subway. Materials are specified for long-term exposure to harsh, outdoor conditions so they are not prone to corrosion or rust.This story originally appeared on CityLab and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In addition to vehicular & pedestrian entryways, these flood barriers can be designed to protect vulnerable vent shafts & ducts. Moreover, FloodBreak products are designed for long service life with minimal maintenance so they will operate as designed for decades. ![]() ![]() These self-rising flood barriers, unlike traditional flood control measures, permanently mitigate flood risk. Passive flood barriers like FloodBreak’s eliminate this requirement and deploy automatically regardless of whether personnel can get there or not. FloodBreak eliminates that problem and the risk posed to people and owned assets.įEMA states its preference for passive flood mitigation measures because it eliminates human intervention. There has never been flood damage behind a properly installed FloodBreak-protected entrance.Īctive flood control products require human action, a primary cause of avoidable flood damage. Without human intervention and without power. Self-activating barrier provides uninterrupted flood protection, using hydrostatic pressure or action to deploy instead of power or human intervention. Second, that, in order to bring the extreme limits of the city into closer relations, provision must be made for the running of trains at higher speed than was. FloodBreak was founded on a fundamental yet very simple concept - using the power of rising water against itself to automatically protect structures from flood damage caused by floodwaters. ![]()

![]() (I'm 5'4" and ordered sizes XS and S returned the S because it's a very billowy costume. The fabric was thick and slightly stretchy much prettier IMO than on the model. Pair Westley with this and you won't be disappointed: You could be Westley, or ad a hat and a cape and you could be Zoro!Īnyway, the quality was reasonable, the fabric hung well and was true to size for a medium, long enough for my tall husband, and the fabric washed well so we can repurpose this for future costumes, perhaps as a caterer. (Probably didn't help that we weren't standing next to each other much of the time.) Anyway, most people thought my husband was Zoro. Everyone loved our costumes but only one person guessed who we were. which meant I ended up being Princess Buttercup (red dress with gold sash) for a Halloween couples' costume. He wore something simpler but elected to keep this. We purchased this for a pirate-themed night. And, of course, when you're all done being a pirate, you can always hand the outfit off to your pal Inigo to continue the tradition of piracy on the high seas! Come up with some witty phrases to make a prince feel bad about himself. So, save your true love from a doomed marriage to a monarch. This costume offers zero protection from those little buggers, so you may want to add a sword to your order so you can fend them off! A Happy Ending Once you have it all on, you too will be prepared to fight for your one true love, Buttercup! Do be wary of Fire Swamp Rats though. The mask and head scarf add a touch of mystery, while the sash and gloves put the finishing touch on the look. The licensed costume faithfully recreates the look of the deadly Dread Pirate Roberts, so you can instantly transform into the legend upheld by the young Westley! The black shirt has a lace-up front with a matching pair of pants. You may find yourself in the middle of a quest for adventure, love, and riches when you wear this Princess Bride Westley costume. We probably would have gone with something a little more to the point, like, “I love you,” but we're not nearly as complex or charming as Westley! He journeyed forth to make his fortune for his bride to be, and now, it's time for you to do the same. Westley repeated those words to Buttercup until she finally took the hint that he loved her more than anyone else in the world. When you're dressed in the digs of the Dread Pirate Roberts, you don't have to be strong enough to take on a giant or smart enough to defeat the Sicilian.Simple words from a surprisingly not-so-simple man. ![]() All you need to do is find a sword that switches nicely between your right and left hand for breath-taking duel tricks. The costume is ready to go with a head scarf and face mask to keep your farm boy identity secret. Our in-house designers put plenty of dramatic flair into this costume such as the billowy sleeves that gather at the wrist and the shiny faux leather boot toppers. Which is great, since wearing this costume to the Renaissance Fair would be a real blast. While we wouldn't recommend wearing it through the Fire Swamp, it's high quality enough to be worn again and again. Officially licensed, this Westley costume will make you feel like the hero of The Princess Bride. If that doesn't put this farm boy on your top list of dapper heroes, we don't know what will. While Robin Hood fights to bring money to the poor and Zorro works to free his people from the hands of an oppressive dictator, Westley uses his sword and mask to fight for the highest honor. And when he switched hands while dueling the Spaniard, we knew this hero would always have a place in our hearts. We knew it from the moment he started climbing the Cliffs of Insanity without a rope to help him. Yep, Wesley is the perfect example of the dapper fairy tale hero. And though he might be a bit of a bad boy, he's always polite. So I rounded up several costumes, accessories and wigs at Candy Apple Costumes that would do the trick nicely. ![]() What makes a hero truly dapper? Well, it's actually not very controversial. And I figured there are probably others out there who love the Princess Bride enough to want to dress up as Princess Buttercup, Westley, or Inigo Montoya for Halloween. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cookie is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Performance".

And so one final time I would like to preach to you on this most important topic that we might abound more and more in the Lord’s new commandment that we have studied in John 15 to love one another just as I have loved you.” 1īefore I read this text may I remind you, again, that in John 13 we learned how Christ loves, that he loves self sacrificially and that he loves with self humiliation and self control. That is human nature, isn’t it? And that is not to say that we don’t have room to grow in the area of love. Now that is not to say that we might be more fond of some than others. It is a very loving group of souls in this place. And I say that from the bottom of my heart, a love that you have for Christ and for one another. One would have to look long and hard to find a more loving group of people.

He now leads a group called the Shock Troopers who have begun attacking while the generators are down. Thorne is a bat who was once Lionel’s top bodyguard before betraying him and disappearing. She wields the whip, Nightstar, along with other tools and weapons. She’s known throughout the land for her Spark technology that powers the Spark Generators used by everyone. Mina is the youngest, but also most promising Hollower. Mina is part of an ancient group called the Hollowers who dedicate their lives to science and energy but also have the special Hollowing ability to dig and travel underground. This sets Mina off on her adventure across Tenebrous Isle to figure out who - or what - is responsible. After getting a letter from a customer and ruler of her home island named Baron Lionel, informing her that her most important invention, Spark Generators, have begun failing and that it is likely due to sabotage. The titular Mina is a little mouse called a Hollower, an inventor who fights with her whip. While the trailer itself is almost completely focused on gameplay, the Kickstarter page has tons of additional info on the world, characters, and the story of Mina the Hollower. However, until official word is given, take that as simply highly likely speculation at this point. The original Shovel Knight came to just about everything, even the WiiU, so odds are that, at one point or another, Mina the Hollower should come to at least the major systems like PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, if not more. The only ones we know for sure are Mac and Linux since they were part of the stretch goals for the project that has already been passed. Yacht Club has stated that it doesn’t have a confirmed list of platforms Mina the Hollower will be available on, possibly due to any future changes in the market between now and release. Since the game does use Kickstarter, we can at least expect a fairly regular schedule of updates on the game’s development and progress towards an eventual release date. We always prioritize quality, even if that means delaying a project a little until it’s ready to meet the world.” Even the developers themselves admit that it will be a long wait stating, “The biggest risk is that Mina the Hollower may take longer than anticipated.
