It’s 7pm and the advice here is to definitely stay inside for the evening. From the Mayor’s most recent address:

Even in my sheltered location, I can still hear the wind gusts getting louder and louder right now.

Con Ed may be shutting off power as a preventive measure in southern Manhattan this evening — it looks like this will be south of me. If my power does go out, however, I’ll post additional updates from my phone.
