NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) - In the annals of natural disasters, it doesn't get much worse than a major hurricane directly striking New York City and Long Island.
Hurricane Irene is on a course that will take it up the East Coast from the weekend. While there is still uncertainty about where it will hit and when, the forecast models increasingly suggest some parts of the greater New York area will face some type of storm or hurricane impact.
According to New York City's Office of Emergency Management, the last hurricane to pass directly over the city was in 1821 -- and it caused tides to rise 13 feet in one hour, flooding all of lower Manhattan to Canal St.
But for Long Island, the threat is much worse. People still talk about the Long Island Express of 1938, a Category 3 storm that the U.S. government has said would cause $40 billion in damage if it hit today.

Irene is forecast to move to the northwest, passing over the northwest Bahamas by Thursday evening, then curving to the northeast. Irene then makes landfall in the US near or at the Outer Banks Saturday afternoon, then traveling along the mid-Atlantic coastline of the US. Sunday, Irene may make secondary landfall anywhere from New Jersey to Long Island and the southern New England coastline. In my opinion, New York City may be significantly impacted by Irene. It is also important to note that the windfield of Irene is expected to be large, affecting areas distant from the immediate track of Irene's center. Tropical storm forces winds are expected to be found out to at least 150 miles away from Irene's center on Friday afternoon.
NHC is forecasting for Irene to become a Category 4 storm (winds faster than 130 mph) by Thursday morning. As Irene moves northward into cooler water, the intensity is expected to drop slowly to a Category 2 storm before making landfall in the Outer Banks.

Ja.. hopelijk verzwakt de orkaan nog of buigt ie af:quote:Op donderdag 25 augustus 2011 11:36 schreef timmmmm het volgende:
Maar even serieus, als er een categorie 2 of 3 rechtstreeks over new york/manhattan komt, is de schade toch echt enorm?

3 zal het niet worden. Laatste kaartjes en voorspellingen lijken gunstiger te worden. Maar een categorie 2 zal een flinke extra hoeveel water met zich meebrengen qua stormvloed.quote:Op donderdag 25 augustus 2011 11:36 schreef timmmmm het volgende:

quote:US Navy fleet leaves Virginia ahead of Irene
NORFOLK, Va. — The U.S. Navy has ordered the Second Fleet in Virginia to leave Norfolk Naval Station to keep the ships safe Hurricane Irene, which is approaching the East Coast.
Thursday's order applies to 64 ships in southeastern Virginia. Twenty-seven ships are moving out to sea, beginning at 8 a.m. An additional 28 are being moved to other places such as repair shipyards that are safer than the piers at Norfolk.
Nine ships are already at sea.
The Navy says ships that are under way can better weather such storms. It also will help protect piers from being damage.
Forecasters have yet to pinpoint where the hurricane will make landfall. It's currently a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph.
Die 12 meter is natuurlijk open zee. New York ligt veel meer beschut. Veel interessanter is denk ik de het debiet van de Hudson en de hoogte van de stormvloed.quote:Op woensdag 24 augustus 2011 15:01 schreef Basp1 het volgende:
