We are only human I guess. It is hardly the only the only major city in danger. To name a few there is Tampa, Miami, Mobile and of course, Houston, Texas.

New York City would be the ultimate disaster - thanks for this post to educate us on the effects

Mmm....how about Madison Square Garden? Midtown Manhattan will be safe from surge.

What would be the month that would give NYC the highest chances of getting hit? September?

the last two direct hits, I believe, came in August

Also, while the surge would be devastating... the winds experienced by many would be of cat 4 or 5 intensity, because the winds are significantly higher at the top of the high rises, by 1 or 2 categories. Therefore, a cat 3, will mean some people see cat 4 or 5 winds
