The earliest hurricane was one that was very destructive and that was recorded was in 1893.
That one, BTW also killed the only endemic flock of "yellow parakeets" in the U.S. The rookery was in the bluffs around a "small bay", I don't remember the name of the bay.
Anyway, hurricanes of high category level have made it to NY many times.
Here is a link that lists the recoreded ones it has nice graphics and can be quickly viewed.
1893, 1934, 54, 60 , 85, 91, 95.

I was visiting with my boy, he has an apartment in Queens and a house on Long Island, but, about a half mile back from the shore and about 50 feet up "on the "in" side a bluff". He has lost power but is just taking it easy since the house has been there since the twenties and never was involved directly with any storm, except for rain and wind. Nobody is being evacuated from the area unless they want to be.
He said the apartment in Queens may be affected but it is about fifteen feet above the road, and stone faced. So, he doesn't know.
My other boy is a high end computer programmer who works "from his farm", and has a team in Philadelphia that he suprevises from long distance, and also goes there to face to face periodically. He said that he expects Philly to be without power and that if it does then he will switch to "West 2" region of the net and work there, although the team will probably just stay home.
Me, here in the midwest, it has been cold and frosty, a little ahead of schedule but not much.
So, anyone else directly involved or with family/friends involved?

P.S. maybe we now have a clue as to why those "obviously" clueless Amerindians sold the area to a bunch of obviously smart white guys who were stupid enough to want to live in a flood plain.............. for some beads! lol
