Around one million have lost power and at least eight have died as Hurricane Irene moves up the East Coast.

Right now New York City is strangely empty after 375,000 were evacuated and most people buckle down at home. The storm is supposed to hit here late Saturday or early Sunday.

If you have pictures to share of this historic hurricane, please send them to GLubin@businessinsider.com.
