Hurricane Irene is on its way to the New York City area.

Here is some information on Hurricane Irene:

• Projections have the hurricane making landfall somewhere in the Northeast on Sunday — New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut are all possibilities — though its winds speeds will have likely slowed by then.
• Hurricane Irene is unusually large — hurricane force winds of at least 74 miles per hour extend 70 miles from its center, and tropical-storm force winds of at least 40 miles per hour extend 255 miles in all directions.
• Even without hurricane-force winds, northeastern states already drenched from a rainy August could see flooding and fallen trees from Irene.
• New York City officials had begun preparations to evacuate residents from low-lying areas of the city if necessary.
• The city’s subway stations and tunnels would likely be flooded in places, and officials plan to shut the system down ahead of time to reduce damage to the infrastructure.
• New York City’s agencies were preparing for a Category 1 hurricane with winds surpassing 74 mph and waters surging dangerously in low-lying areas. With five hospitals and nursing homes in the area, officials were readying to possibly evacuate the most frail and needy.
• Widespread wind damage and power outages are likely throughout the Northeast.
• The bad scenario cuts the hurricane across Long Island and into New England as a large and strong Category 2 storm. This scenario brings tremendous storm surge on the back bays of Long Island and from the ocean. Massive power disruption and tremendous wind damage will result.
• The worst scenario has the hurricane hug the coast all the way to New York City. This would bring tremendous storm surge and wind damage affecting everything from Maryland, right up to the Hudson Valley and across New England. Most computer models suggest a worst-case scenario is the likeliest.
