Preview Hoboken, Post-Irene: Under Water By 70%?


Hopefully, this scenario fails to materialize, but if you live in Hoboken, you can begin to build an ark, just in case. An even better idea: Let the town for several days.

The red on this map represents the area that would flood the city, just a Category 1 hurricane relatively low. Orange, yellow, green, and correspond to the floods that would occur if the storm is stronger, it is very possible, but right now the storm is expected to be Category 1 by the time it arrives in the metropolitan area New York, Hoboken located along the river in New Jersey.
