Trains in NYC are expected to be down through the end of the week, Connecticut has closed highways to non-emergency traffic, chunks of Manhattan have no power and patients at one NYC hospital are being evacuated due to generator failure. Homes in NY and CT are being flooded, some banks are being closed indefinitely.
I imagine that a lot of YC folks may be scrambling to check on homes and loved ones and trying to keep generators working, etc.
I think a deadline extension would be appropriate. I know there's an argument to be made that folks should be prepared, but this (like many of the weather events I got to experience in Western Mass last year) really is unprecedented.
(I have no stake in this, I just think extending the deadline is the right thing to do).
