I worked in the "canyons" of Midtown Manhattan for 17yrs, and that'll be one of the deadliest places on earth during this storm, if those winds impact the buildings' glass. You'd also be surprised how much hardware, roof gardens etc is on top of those buildings, which could be blown loose and come down.

I’ve never lived there but have sat in Schnippers on the first floor of the NY Times building watching chairs get blown down the street. That was not during a hurricane.

Oooooh. Not Good. Plus keep in mind that the buildings will tend to amplify the wind effect. I guess we’ll find out how much common sense the denizens of manhattan have. Not much I reckon.
