Last comments I read say that the eyewall is broken, but I did not see that. Hopefully, New Yorkers will have one more false alarm to complain about, but it is still going to be potent, in the storm surge and waves it has kicked up, and tornadoes will still be a large threat.
Just a little update: took a visit down to Sandy Hook and Fort Hancock in Jersey - right across from lower Manhattan. Not an ocean swell in sight which is unusual - from my many years living at the Shore. No surfers.
Although there were certainly lots of people leaving the area, there were also many, many people sitting on their front porches as if nothing was happening.
Interesting!
