Gov. Cuomo: Get ready for possible hit from Hurricane Joaquin
NY officials urge residents to stock up on flashlights, batteries, water and canned goods
While it’s still too early to predict with certainty, the National Hurricane Center’s computer models show a possibility of newly-declared Hurricane Joaquin hitting the East Coast of the U.S.
A forecast cone of the storm’s probable five-day path, prepared at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, shows Joaquin reaching New York late Monday or Tuesday.
One scenario (updated Thursday morning) is for the storm to strengthen before brushing past Long Island or further north to Cape Cod.
