(Reuters) - New York City on Friday ordered the evacuation of more than
250,000 people and prepared to shut down its entire mass transit system,
both unprecedented measures ahead of the expected battering from Hurricane
Irene.
.
The powerful and unusually large storm trudged up the U.S. East Coast on
Friday, threatening 55 million people including more than 8 million in New
York City, which was expecting heavy winds late on Saturday or early on
Sunday.
.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered people living in low-lying areas --
including the Financial District surrounding Wall Street in Manhattan --
out of their homes by 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) on Saturday, saying 91 emergency
shelters would be open on Friday.
.
The transit system that carries 8.5 million people a day would start
shutting down around noon (1600 GMT) on Saturday, a process that could
take eight hours.
.
"We've never done a mandatory evacuation before and we wouldn't be doing
it now if we didn't think this storm had the potential to be very
serious," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference.
.
New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo activated 900 National Guard troops
while airlines moved aircraft from the danger zone and canceled at least
1,000 flights and the city's four zoos stocked up to keep the animals fed.
.
Bridges leading to the island of Manhattan could be closed if winds exceed
60 mph.
.
Police had a fleet of rescue boats at the ready in case resident of
low-lying areas near the waterfront were trapped by the storm surge, which
would be exacerbated by coincidental high tides.
.
The evacuations zones are mostly along the waterfront of the city -- a
complex geography of islands and peninsulas surrounded by rivers, harbors
and open sea.
