As Hurricane Sandy spun it’s way towards the east coast yesterday, several East Coast Apple Stores made preparations to deal with the storm.
Jonathan Wald tweeted several pictures showing how the iconic 5th Avenue Store in New York is preparing. The storefront is being blocked off with sandbags, and MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, and iPads are being covered in plastic bags to prevent water damage.
An Apple Store in Philadelphia also was preparing for Sandy with Sandbags.
It was also reported that the Apple Stores on the East Coast are warning their employees that the stores may be closed on Monday and Tuesday, depending on how the weather patterns turn out.
Google was also affected by the storm, as it cancelled its big Android event that was set for Monday morning, where the company was expected to announce new devices and a new version of their OS.
We’ll be keeping everyone on the East Coast in our thoughts. Stay safe!
