Is Allentown prone to flooding? If not it looks like it's far enough inland that this shouldn't be a huge deal. As a disclaimer I live in Florida and have been through six hurricanes and I didn't leave for any of them. As a matter of fact before I was married with kids we would have hurricane parties and get completely wasted and party though them.
I grew up in South Florida and lived through my share of bad storms, especially David and Andrew. NYC is 90 miles away, and if the eye is near there, we are going to get a ton of rain from the feeder bands. The Governor has declared a State of Emergency so the state can begin making preparations. We'll probably get 40-50 MPH winds and a lot of heavy rain. Hopefully not a lot of flooding.
