A few tourists remaining in Times Square. Depending on which side of New York City Irene travels, they may be forced to leave rather quickly.
How are New Yorkers reacting to Mayor Bloomberg’s order to leave? They’re going to the beach!!
AP writes: New Yorkers, many of them without cars, don’t have much time to get out of the way before the city shutters its subways, buses and trains on Saturday

I’m worried for my followers and readers.. and especially New Yorkers… Please be safe. Get supplies. This will be a storm unlike any in recent memory, if not your life… This is big, this is bad.. last time NYC got this type of a storm was the 1890s….
Irene just destroyed the Bahamas.. it’s coming to the east Coast.. NYC is going to face some very difficult conditions..
The coal region is not immune.. lots of thoughts of the famed Agnes coming back
How is everyone prepping?
