Hurricane Irene hits New York, but downgraded to tropical storm; power ...
Hurricane Irene saved its last blasts of fury for New York, paralyzing the city with hours of relentless rains and fears of flooding before it was downgraded to a tropical storm Sunday.
It also left more than 118,000 people without power, including 33,784 in storm-ravaged Queens -- although the city reported no deaths.
The weakening storm sent a scare from Wall Street in Lower Manhattan to Stillwell Ave. in Coney Island as the downpour that began Saturday raged all night, with rising water shutting sections of the Holland Tunnel, the Henry Hudson Parkway, the FDR Drive and the Van Wyck Expressway.
Cops shooed people from Central Park in the aftermath of the city's biggest hurricane threat in a quarter-century. But the city appeared to escape the worst case scenario of massive power outages, shattered skyscraper glass and devastating floods.
"The worst is over," Mayor Bloomberg said at an afternoon news conference. "We will soon turn to return and restore mode."
Wall Street and the rest of the financial district, despite dire predictions as Irene approached the city last week, should open for business as usual, the mayor said.

Wall Street and the rest of the financial district, despite dire predictions as Irene approached the city last week, should open for business as usual, the mayor said.
One thing that might not be restored: Subway and bus service in time for the Monday morning rush hour. While officials wouldn't definitely say mass transit would remain closed for a third day, they warned that restoring buses and trains is a long, labor-intensive process.
"It will be annoying tomorrow and people will scream," the mayor said prior to his news conference.
That's also true up and down the coast. President Obama said the effects of the storm will be "felt for some time," and he pledged the feds would do all they could to help people get back on their feet.
