More from Irene: The flooding is the real danger, guys. It’s a huge storm and is dropping a ton of rain. Enough to engulf a car, apparently. An incredible shot. (via Twitter user @MsNakiaB, who has posted a ton of photos today)

Game over: This AP photo taken by H. Rumph Jr shows a young Phillies fan watching the tarp cover the field.. The game is off. Florida Marlins vs Philadelphia postponed until after Irene.

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.
