UPDATE: Looks like this won't be happening. The storm should stay out to sea and not impact the USA.
Some computer models are showing a Hurricane hitting New York City this weekend. Obviously it's far to early to be certain, but this developing situation should be paid attention to by those living on the Eastern Coast of the USA. New York City can sustain significant damage from a Hurricane depending on the strength and track. It's not a matter of if it can happen, but when it will happen. That's all we need right now, so hopefully this system will stay out to sea.
If this happens, it probably won't be above a Cat 1 Hurricane, but powerful Hurricanes have hit New England in the past. Here is a graphic showing some stats on the 1938 Hurricane:
Psycho
It's like 9/11 but without the muslims, controversy, and failure.
