华尔街平静面对飓风桑迪

'It was definitely worth being there,' said Mark Vonderheide, managing partner at Geneva Energy Markets LLC, who went into his firm's offices in Lower Manhattan, just outside the evacuation zone. 'It was relatively busy.'

Geneva Energy Markets LLC执行合伙人旺达黑德(Mark Vonderheide)去了办公室。该公司办公室位于曼哈顿下城，刚好在疏散区以外。他说，去办公室肯定是值得的；相对比较忙。

Mr. Vonderheide had reserved hotel rooms near the office for his staff, but ended up not needing them Monday. The superintendent of his small office building offered to drive him and a handful of employees home, dropping them off at various locations in Manhattan.

旺达黑德之前在办公室附近为员工预订了酒店房间，但周一并没有入住的必要。他所在小写字楼的管理员主动提出开车送他和一些员工回家、把他们送到曼哈顿的多个地点。

The drive was uneventful. 'Around Times Square, I was amazed how many people were walking around,' Mr. Vonderheide said. 'I was a lot more nervous about trading gasoline in a hurricane market then I was about driving home.'

路上平安无事。旺达黑德说：在时报广场附近，我吃惊地发现还有那么多人在走来走去；在飓风来袭的市场里交易汽油的时候，比我在搭车回家的时候紧张多了。

Those working from home were also making special arrangements. Walter Zimmermann, an energy broker with United ICAP, worked from his home in Pennsylvania, about 1,800 feet above sea level. His office, which is by the water in Jersey City, N.J., is not accessible.
