New York Today: Hurricane Jose Approaches
“We are not expecting Hurricane Jose to make a direct impact on New York City, so the ports
and waterways are open,” said Allyson Conroy, the Coast Guard public affairs officer for New York City.
The hurricane could affect New York City for days, but the peak will likely be tonight, when the storm will be the closest to the city.
• As New York City vows to take a closer look at “all symbols of hate on city property,” a public art scholar
and professor of art history discussed the city’s many statues.
While Hurricane Jose spared the Caribbean, which was ravaged this month by Hurricane Irma, it is being followed by Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 hurricane
that made landfall on the island of Dominica last night and is expected to pummel Puerto Rico tomorrow.
As Hurricane Jose nears, we had a few questions about hurricanes and how they might affect New York City.
Typically it’s the low-lying and coastal areas, said Nancy Silvestri, press secretary for New York City Emergency Management Department.
