Weve had a tough time finding people who are affected by that here this morning because it seems like word is out shgts people knew about the , people knew about the storm coming. People knew about it yesterday. We do have some video of the airport yesterday. 44 flights were cancelled. Visitors to and from all three new york city airports.
