From few days ago, forecasts are predicting the hurricane will affect states including South Carolina and Virginia and on all the way up to the eastern coast of Canada through Monday. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency and declared mandatory evacuations for some parts of New York City.
Here's NYC Hurricane Irene Evacuation Map to determine if you would evacuate.
Visit the NYC Office of Emergency Management Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder to determine what zone you live in, and follow the directions to determine if you live in a mandatory evacuation area.
Governor Cuomo has ordered the shutdown of New York City’s mass transit, the MTA, starting Saturday at noon. So, no subway or bus service, and it may be out through Monday noon, at least.
