Hurricane Irene closes in on quiet, anxious NYC (AP)

The streets of New York are nearly empty as Hurricane Irene approaches the region with wind and rain early Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011. Irene has the potential to cause billions of dollars in damage all along a densely populated arc that includes Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and beyond. At least 65 million people could be affected. (AP Photo/Chelsea Matiash)AP - Hurricane Irene bore down on a dark and quiet New York early Sunday, bringing winds and rapidly rising seawater that threatened parts of the city. The rumble of the subway system was silenced for the first time in years, the city all but shut down for the strongest tropical lashing since the 1980s.
