Even a Cat 2 wouldn't have flooded the subways. The biggest danger to NYC subways would be storm surge and that will depend on how far inland the storm is. If the storm says east of the shore then the surge is low. If it moves farther inland then the wind damage and surge increases but the storm loses more energy. The worst case scenario is if the storm bounces off the coastline, recharges, and then moves back in. That doesn't usually happen that far north. There isn't much concern with wind in Manhattan: concrete and steel doesn't fall apart so there's not much debris.
