If people refuse to listen to the warnings whether they are justified or not in the end, does not mean that those warnings should not have been issued, IMHO. The chances of catastrophic destruction were there - officials acted as they thought best with the information they had at hand.

Minor editing...
Of course not, the officials would be absolutely remiss to have not issued these warnings. I wasn't my intention to imply otherwise, just a comment on human nature.

Video of the puck antics show groups of men and women stick handling the puck.
The images show some men braving the rain bare-chested, while others were wearing hockey jerseys, as they gleefully engaged in a mid-storm hockey session.
The bright lights on buildings surrounding the square still flickered, but one of New York City's most crowded tourist spots was an unobstructed playing area on Saturday night as the players braved heavy rain and strong winds.
The hockey players took advantage of the eerily empty square to play the men's vs. women's game in front of the Marriott hotel......."
