Hurricane Irene is barreling down New York, prompting Mayor Michael Bloomberg to declare the city's first ever mass mandatory evacuation on some areas.

Bloomberg said residents in Zone A need to be out by Saturday at 5 p.m. However, practically speaking, Zone A residents need to get moving by Saturday morning because the coming winds may make traveling difficult by the afternoon and New York's entire mass transit system will shut down by noon.

Hurricane Irene is expected to impact New York on Saturday, with the worst conditions...likely late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon, stated the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

Bloomberg suggested that Zone A residents stay with friends and family in 'no zone' areas. However, if that's not possible, New York City has opened up 91 public shelters for evacuees.

While we safely wait for this anticipated storm, social media sites become the place to pass the time. Celebrities across the country have taken to Twitter to express their thoughts on Hurricane Irene.
