On Wednesday, more than 300 patients were evacuated from New York’s Bellevue Hospital Center after backup generators failed, the second major New York hospital to lose power as a result of the storm. A fuel oil spill, meanwhile, has been reported in New Jersey at a facility jointly owned by the oil giant Shell. The site’s operator, Motiva, said an unknown amount of fuel was released into the Arthur Kill waterway, which separates New Jersey from Staten Island.
