"The son on L.I. may be in for more probs than bro in VA:

So far, it looks like you are probably right. My son just moved down there from eastern upstate NY. My concern is if anything hits L.I., how the heck does one get out of there?

If any Long Island FReeper has any info to share, I'd appreciate hearing it so I could pass it along to him.

Head west for Queens or Brooklyn is the only suggestion I can offer. While still on the western edge of Long Island either borough is more protected.
