At Low Tide, Waves Already A Third Of The Way To The Dunes

I think there could be some serious flooding with or without a direct pass of the hurricane.

I'm on eastern Long Island.

1. Based on the rotation of the hurricane

you need to prepare.

2. Holy smokes!

Maybe time for you to get ready to head for higher ground.

3. If you look up " New York Hurricane 1893" in wikipedia,

you can get a fairly clear picture of what could happen.

I imagine with the growth of man-made structures and increase in population, it might be worse.

On the positive side, people wouldn't feel quite as isolated, with modern tweeting, texting etc. Also more warning and time to prepare.

4. What is the current projection of the storm's arrival there?

Looks like you folks are in for a blow, for sure. Be safe.

7. their local weather is on top of this

right?

[MineralMan]

8. It is. I just read todays Long Island paper. They're covering it

heavily. Looks like Sunday is the expected date. So, yes, the local media is all over it. I'm sure Long Islanders will be consulting their local sources for advice.

10. Sunday night I believe. A storm is now moving from west. But water is already building up.

[TBF]

5. Maybe visit family or a friend inland for the weekend? Just in case?

Sometimes they turn, but all the models have moved inward which is not a good sign. Here in Houston in 2001 there were over 20 deaths in the major flooding from Tropical Storm Allison.

Weather Channel predicting serious consequences for entire coast, starting NC Saturday. :hi:

13. Thanks, we're a mile up the street that is a significant incline. So we're where people come

who need to get to higher ground :)
