Google has canceled its Android event scheduled for Monday in New York City due to Hurricane Sandy, reports The Verge.

On Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in response to the incoming storm, and Google’s event was set to take place on a waterfront pier, which is now in an evacuation zone. Monday won’t be a total loss, though: we’ll be in San Francisco to cover Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 launch, which should be able to evade Sandy’s wrath.
