• Hurricane Irene has caused most of New York City to be shut down (subway, streets, bridges)
• the city experienced some serious flooding, as well as tornado warnings in many areas
• many homes and buildings were left without power and many residents were asked to leave their homes as well.
• Overall, the city is handling the hurricane in an organized manor and there have yet to be any serious issues
