OH, THIS REALLY SOAKS!

Nor's easter to belt city for two days

The Big Apple looked more like the Windy City on Monday as a nor’easter pummeled the city with torrential rains and wind gusts of up to 60 mph.

And the storm was projected to carry right through into the first part of Tuesday.

Commuters should expect wet and windy conditions, but “the intensity of the rain and wind will gradually diminish,” according to John Gresiak, a senior forecaster with AccuWeather.

Temperatures will stay steady in the upper 30s to 40s into the morning, Gresiak said.

Tim Magee, a merchant marine who lives in Queens, said he secured his garbage cans and outdoor furniture as a “precaution” but said he wasn’t worried about the storm.

“I’m not scared. I’ve been out at sea in the middle of a Category 3 hurricane. That’s a horror show,” said Magee, 58.

“Hurricanes make a big boat seem so small when the waves are beating on it. Compared to that, this is nothing.”

Evangela Whitehorn-Dove, 57, from Brooklyn, also wasn’t all that bothered.

“I’m not worried. I’m not cold. I have my hand warmers and my foot warmers. As long as the train doesn’t shut down, I’ll be OK,” she said.

Mayor de Blasio on Monday said city officials made sure cranes were secured and storm drains cleared ahead of the nor’easter but didn’t anticipate that subway flooding would be an issue.

Tuesday night could see a leftover shower before clearing up for a sunny Wednesday, with the mercury approaching an unseasonable 52 degrees.

Thursday’s temperatures will be just as pleasant but cloudy skies could lead to a shower before the end of the day.

The slow-moving storm system is the same one that caused deadly tornadoes in Georgia and Mississippi over the weekend.

Monday’s downpour didn’t begin until late afternoon. Still, the conditions caused chaos for commuters after downed power lines forced New Jersey Transit and Amtrak to suspend some train service running through New Jersey Monday afternoon.

Wires belonging to a commercial business fell over the tracks in Linden, causing the suspensions, officials said.
