But the Hurricane Force winds have been battering the eastern seaboard for hours. Those winds extend out 175 miles from the center of the storm. Those winds are pushing the Atlantic Ocean up and over many coastlines. From rhode island, south to the jersey shore. Coastal flooding is a significant risk thanks to the storm surge, potentially reaching 11 feet in new york harbor. Battery park on the tip of manhattan is under a mandatory evacuation, as waves already have topped the sea wall. Low lying areas are at substantial risk of flood waters, including the wall street area, especially if the worst of the surge hits during high tide tonight, at 9pm eastern time.

And there will be no stock trading tomorrow either. Susie gharib has more on the historic market closure from new york. Susie it was supposed to be a busy monday on wall street
