It’s not so much the velocity of the wind that’s the problem, it’s the rain, direction of the wind and the duration of both.
Inland, 48 to 72 hours of heavy rain with gusts that may hit 40-60 and trees get uprooted....plus flooding.
On the shore, 48-72 hrs. of wind pushing water into the inverted “V” of NY Bight plus water being pushed down LI Sound...all mixed with moon tides...will cause a lot of flooding problems.
Like I said, you’re all gonna die in this storm.
Just forget about Benghazi, okay?
