Weather.com has a lot of maps, charts, and even storm chasers that will keep you constantly up to speed. MyWeather.com is a similar solution.
Google Crisis Response shows evacuation routes all up and down the east coast.
Stormpulse is a good way to keep up with rapidly changing forecasts.
Mayor Bloomberg posted a NYC evacuation map yesterday. The New York Times has an interactive copy that will let you search your zip code and find your evacuation zone.
Of course, if you want instant news, the best place to search is on Twitter. Hundreds of tweets with the hashtag #hurricane are being written per minute. You can also see photos people have posted of the storm in their area.
