Hurricane in New York?
606578
I used to live in Connecticut on the shore, and there were several hurricanes that came when I was younger. Of course, because the hurricanes had to go over Long Island (pronounce Lon Geyeland!), they were strong but not devastating. In about 1993 there was a huge hurricane that hit Cape Cod (pronounced Kennedyland) and did extraordinary damage, uprooting trees that had been planted 400 years ago and devastating historical sites.\n\nSo yes, there is every chance that an Atlantic hurricane might hit New York at some point.

No exaggeration. But the type of storm is often different.\nBritain to my knowledge has only had the one hurricane in recent times and that was around 1987. I remember it well. Our position is too far up north for something like Katrina.\n\nSeems you are trying to stir up some storms yourself with a question like this

That would be low pressure. The center, or eye, of a hurricane always has low pressure.

just remember what Michael fish said... no chance of a hurricane, its not moved on from there has it!

Hi. The Leonids will rise in the East and be faint this year. Central park's west side might be your best shot. Make sure to bring some friends!

Having been in the path of a direct hit by Hurricane Claudette on July 15, 2003, I have to say that I'm not so sure about hanging around for something like that again.  The house I live in made it through Hurricane Carla in 1961 packing winds (COMING ASHORE) of 165 mph.  I now figure if it's barely a hurricane of say 74-80 mph, a category one, I will probably stay.  That doesn't mean I won't be scared as hell, but something of that size going North or South of here isn't going to cause me to leave.  We were blindsided by Hurricane Claudette sneaking up the coast overnight and caught EVERYBODY "with their pants down" so to say.  That was probably the scariest thing I've ever been witness to in my 43 years on this planet.  The wind was screaming past my front door right at 100 mph.  Had I known that was on the way we would have got the hell out of here.  One tornado took out huge trees right next door, while I only had to replace about five shingles.  That tornado went right over the house while I was putting all 240 pounds of me on the front door trying to close it.  The whistling was like screaming banshees.  The wind was howling.  I mean literally howling.  It still scares me to think about it. For most of my life I wondered what it would be like to ride out a hurricane.  Now I know.  Will I leave or ride it out?  Chances are pretty good I'm outta here.  Many "old-timers" and idiots thought they could ride out another hurricane.  Many of those "old-timers" and idiots didn't make through to tell us all about it.  Don't be an idiot.  Listen to your common sense and watch the advisories.  If this message helps to save your life or someone else's, then I haven't typed this in vain.  Good luck.

The ocean water is too cold near NY to produce a powerful enough hurricane.  Most hurricanes form between 5 and 20 degrees latitude above or below the equater.  This is where the waters are warm and there are fast upper-altitude winds--favorable hurricane conditions.  If a hurricane was formed, say, in the Carribean and moved north towards NY, by the time it reached NY the colder waters would imensly weaken the hurricane.  Hurricanes need warm waters (80* F) to remain powerful enough to be of concern.  I wouldn't be too worried about a hurricane reaching NYC.

I have a feeling it is not going to be as intense this year, compared to last year. Still tho, if I were in in the Gulf region, I would take the normal hurricane season precautions, such as stocking up on water, non-perishables, batteries, and plywood.

In NY it was 59 today.  Too hot, this weather is crazy.  And, when we got all that snow at the beginning of December, I thought this was going to be an awesome winter.  Now it just fizzled.

I'll assume you mean Staten Island NY, not Staten Island, Argentina.  Honestly, it would be impossible for anybody to tell you with 100% certainty, but in the 10 day forcast at weather.com, there is only rain, with the lowest temp 38 F.

I don't know about Connecticut, but we're about sick of it in NH. I wonder if my sis's inlaws in Connecticut are sick of the rain...anyhoo. WIth all this flooding going on, I think I should buy a boat. I joke and call our police officers here the "coast guard".  :)
