The enraged bursts of 'Irene' strike at this time the streets of New York. Some 60,000 people were left without electricity in the city and the water runs through the streets of the seaside suburb of Long Beach, just a few miles northeast of Manhattan.
In part because the arrival of 'Irene' coincides with high tide caused by the new moon.
New Yorkers wake up with the deafening noise of the wind against the windows. 'Irene' has killed at least 11 people in the first states affected by accidents or hit by flying objects.
No trains arrive. The New York Times' has not reached the homes of subscribers and the streets have never been as empty as this weekend. Even after 11-S, which only affected directly south of Manhattan where New Yorkers took to the streets for solace. The locals are entrenched in their homes with lanterns, water jugs and duct tape on the windows. Most, metal windows in buildings of stone and only close halfway.
A figure that could cause flooding in coastal districts of the city. In New Jersey, as a precautionary measure, has disconnected the Oyster Creek nuclear plant, which depend on some 600,000 homes. Other plants have reduced their electric power and New Yorkers have already warned that Wall Street can turn off this morning even though the network hold the charge.

An endpoint that predicts strong winds but less time of exposure to water and less risk of flooding.
Still, New York and probably will stay in solitary confinement in darkness and the underground will remain closed for days. "Tomorrow morning when you wake up whatever the conditions of your house, stay there," he said. "New York is the best city in the world and overcome the storm," concluded the Mayor.
The 91 "evacuation centers," in reality schools with mats and thousands of cans of food in the gym could hold about 70,000. Only 1,400 people had chosen this option and closed pharmacies before wandering beggars even when the rain was falling hard.

About eight o'clock in the afternoon (morning in Spain), a taxi driver was still reckless. Some have preferred to leave town and avoid a city with no subway, no trains, no planes and no traffic. A New York unedited with all Starbucks closed, canceled the premieres of Broadway and supermarkets jammed with people buying water, medicines and flashlights.
'Irene' landed on the edge of the seven o'clock Saturday in Nags Head (North Carolina) leaving behind a trail of power outages and trees uprooted by wind up to 130 kilometers per hour.
