I'm Ryan there on WNYC. Good morning again everyone and again a weather alert with the

heavy rains we've been having in the New York area this morning. There is the rare situation

on the New York City subways of only extremely limited subway service available in general

according to New York City Transit they posted on Twitter quote there is only extremely

limited subway service available because of heavy flooding caused by rainfall it says

service may be suspended on certain stations never mind the proper English would say at

certain stations but it says check the New York City Transit website for an update of particular

conditions near you we also got news that the Harlem Line and the New Haven Line of Metro

North both temporarily suspended and from the wording of that the way I'm seeing it looks

like the entire Harlem Line and New Haven Line have been suspended for the moment no word

on the Hudson Line. I'm told now that alternate side of the street parking is now suspended

as if anyone would have been trying to move their cars to avoid a ticket for alternate

side right now but we did have that listener earlier who called in to say hey alternate side

of the street is still in effect well now it's not just so you know and again Mayor Adams

and Governor Hoko will be having a briefing that scheduled for 11 o'clock on the weather

situation obviously no day to be on the roads at all if you can possibly avoid it and we

know that they're maybe flooding having nothing to do with transportation in many of your

areas that may be affecting your homes and businesses and we'll be reporting on that

as well on this incredibly heavy heavy incredibly heavy rain day in the New York area. Meanwhile

we'll talk now about targets announcement that it will close nine stores including the

one here in New York at the East River and East 116th Street in Manhattan the company cited

shoplifting as the main reason but it does plan to open another store elsewhere in Harlem
