  New York City is to be Evacuated .
  
  Fox News Correspondent on Delaware beach for Sky News UK about to be blown away.

  
  Only those in zone A are being evacuated. Everyone else has been advised to stock up on supplies.

  Low lying areas & schools I think.
  
  Also the NYC Subway system is closing as of 7pm EST tonight.

  It does seem to be very dangerous if they are shutting down the whole Transport networks.

  Didn't this happen a few years ago? I suppose you got to be prepared.

  Well for their sakes, lets hope so. At least if the worst happens, the forecasters got in there before the event and wont go to prison like in Italy:D

  What everyone is worried about is that the hurricane has the potential to combine with another storm front in the area which could turn it into a super storm.

  It's not that it's just a 'one' but is expected to collide with a cold air mass and could be like a double. It's the better safe than sorry plan. Zone A is coastal and low lying.

  The Hudson is crazy high, the highest I've ever seen it. It's lapping onto some of the piers.
