Grab a bottle of jack, head to my yard and wait for the end.

Traffic is a nightmare WITHOUT a disaster, just try gettign out of here with one.

Hypothetical situation: Biochemical/nuclear attack on Manhattan, the island is totally decimated. LI is blocked off due to either governmental control or physical (bridges being destroyed, etc.). Island is blocked off for months, maybe years. What do?
The beach will be free

No, what do you think we pay such high police salaries for? Disaster recovery beach enforcement. Duh. If the world is coming down all P.O.s are ordered to make sure the riffraffs don't make it to the beach. I thought everyone knew this.

No, you are remembering incorrectly. The contingency plan is to barricade off the beaches and charge double the normal beach pass price.

You know, to keep them out.
