Hurricane Threat To New York

HURRICANE THREAT TO NEW YORK

 

According to Queens College Professor Dr. Nicholas Coch, a deadly hurricane in New York is 'inevitable. The only question is, Are we prepared?'  He said this in the New York Daily News article 'A 'cane could drown N.Y.C.' about the potential of a large-scale hurricane hitting and submerging Manhattan. There is precedent for such a disaster:  From the 1821 hurricane which cut Manhattan in two to the ’38 hurricane which came within 75 miles of Manhattan.  The city’s Office of Emergency Management has even plotted, block-by-block, how a hurricane would flood New York City.
