"The question is going to be at what levels does the surge take us to later on this afternoon, late this evening when it's actually high tide. If there's a possible area of concern, that is it."
As a precaution, the governor said, the Holland Tunnel and the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, recently renamed the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, would be closed at 2 p.m. "Both are prone to flood," he said.
