(08-26) 11:13 PDT New York (AP) --

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ordered mandatory evacuations for residents in low-lying coastal areas ahead of Hurricane Irene.

Bloomberg said at a briefing Friday that emergency shelters will be opened at 4 p.m.

The low-lying areas are scattered across the city and are home to about 270,000 residents. They include parts of Battery Park City, Coney Island and the Rockaways.

Bloomberg calls the mandatory evacuations a first.

Officials also ordered an unprecedented shutdown of the city's mass transit system for Saturday in advance of the hurricane.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has never before halted its entire system in advance of a storm, though the system was seriously hobbled by an August 2007 rainstorm. The last planned shutdown of the entire transit system was during a 2005 strike.

And the looting starts in 5-4-3-2-1....

This has the potential to be a fucking mess.

Poor and broke ole Michigan isn't looking too bad right about now.

It stops one block away from me. And the interesting thing is that when I looked at the map of areas in my borough that are under MANDATORY evacuation orders, it's where all the potential looters live anyway...

Wall St? 8D

Too late to evac.

The 1938 'cane hit Middle LI at 115 mph. At 100.

Irene's going right over the Statue of Liberty.

At High Tide. 12 ft surge. And the water has no where to go as the LI Sound will be pushing in from the East.

All Manhattan tunnels will be flooded. And salt water will ruin all switches.

20 miles inland from SCarolina to the Canadian border will be w/o electricity. NYC for 6 days.

Holland Tunnel will flood.

Fill your bathtub. A gallon of water directly into the toilet bowl from, say 4 ft high, will flush it.

I was out for ten days two winters ago. Get a car battery and 750 W power inverter. You can operate a power drill, computer, light....;}

Do you have one of those gutter water containers, or whatever they are called?

No.

I have 5 coolers filled with fresh water, several cases of bottled water and a dozen or so gallon milk cartons.

I think we're going to be okay.

Good News....not unexpected....this could have been worse....

This is just like Katrina.

The reporters are in 'safe' areas.

The 'Silence' Areas is what you concentrate on.

The most w/o power ever in the US.
