But midway through a roughly 25-year cycle of warm waters in the Atlantic Ocean, forecasters say the northeast US coast is statistically overdue for a hurricane visit.

According to a recent report in the New Scientist magazine, the storm surge from a major hurricane making landfall close to the city could raise local sea levels by as much as eight meters (25 feet).

That scenario could result in lower Manhattan, including Wall Street, being swamped, along with parts of Brooklyn and Jersey City, New Jersey.

In total, more than 250 square kilometers (95 square miles) might be affected, causing the evacuation of 2.2 million people from New York City alone.
