Heck, I hope they have an anti-surge protection program or them subways could be amphibious vehicles only overnight.. lots of rain, wind and surge bodes bad news .. no way to move the city .. not when Irene is gonna play Boardway, uninvited or otherwise. Central Park will need a redo after this one.. even tho its not likely hugh windage is ahead.. 100+ mph is still a good blow.. shelters and hotels will be jammed and damaged at the same time.. any one on the shore better be careful and either evacuate or batten down..

Don't forget that the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels will likely be closed due to flooding possibility, and the bridges may be closed due to wind.
Seriously, if I was in NYC, I'd get out TODAY.
Instapundit has been linking to Weather Nerd, who has a good explanation of how serious this is (may become). http://pajamasmedia.com/weathernerd/2011/08/25/irene-clearing-up-some-misconceptions/ . He advises taking action today.

NYC probably has tens of thousands of terraces and rooftop gardens..all filled with chairs, tables, plants..bikes, toys..that will become LETHAL in a 100mph wind...
BTW..see my #28..
