Given that 9/11 was an attack on one section of the city I was really impressed with the response and outpouring of help from the native New Yorker. However should a Big Hurricane impact New York the effects will be more wide spread and the devastation will make 9/11 look like a church outing by comparison. If the bad elements of New York behave themselves then I will be greatly surprised. More to the point there is a criminal element in every big city that will take advantage of such disasters... its a fact of life. It may not happen and I pray that it doesn't but the odds and the human condition are against it. This is all speculation and I am sure that over 99.9% of the people who inhabit the Big Apple are ordinary law abiding citizens who will help each other through times of adversity. It is the .1 % that will turn a disaster like this into a war-zone.
