Actually, the coastal waters in NY and NJ are around 72 degrees, but if you go about 200 nm offshore that gulf current runs about 8-10 degrees warmer. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ <-- Bouy stations up and down the coast. Check out 44025, 44009, and 44004.
Don't count on it. You may live up here but you don't know us yet.
places in the Hamptons are selling for 20 million, a few sold for 50 million.
but if this happened, the federal gov't would not rebuild long island.
long island cannot be evacuated - there isn't even a plan for it. the plan is for all people north of sunrise highway to evacuate in place - in their homes. everyone south of sunrise hwy evacuates north - staying with friends, the nassau coliseum holds 25000, schools, etc. the plan also calls for people to drive to the shopping malls, park in the concrete parking structures, and ride it out there.
hey, I'm 200 feet from the atlantic here - what should I be saying!
good post OV. You're right on all accounts.
You would be pleasantly surprised my southron friend. Folks were worried about looting during the blackout recently and nothing happened. At least not on Long Island and despite my loud,vocal disagreements with the local black muslims, made sure I was okay by myself in the health food store. Besides most law abiding males I live around own guns.
Like that's a bad thing.
Glad you're back from your recent exile, 'borg. Congrats on the new job, btw!
I recall back in the 60's, that many of these homes were built on flimsy wooden stilts over sand dunes. Is that still true today?
Very NICE! but I will most definitely need another one for my shoes.....

I see you are part of the good reverend Bennett's Tyler, Texas cult.
Even before Katrina, the New Orleans Police Department was world-famous for corruption and incompetence.
The NYPD is probably the finest municipal police force in the world. When 911 hit, they ran towards the disaster, not away from it.
If there's looting after a hurricane in NYC, it won't be tolerated for very long.
Become friends with a neighbor who lives on a higher floor???? (thats my plan) ;)

And the 42ID of the NYNG has been front line domestically and in Iraq. In any event I can guarantee that my block would be safe as church.
I'm not familiar with Reverend Bennett or Tyler, Texas. Can you please enlighten me?
As I wrote earlier LI east of the split would only have to evacuate from south of Sunrise Highway. Barrier islands, the Great South Bay then three to five miles from the bay to Sunrise. That's enough to be safe. As for the North Shore, except for the actual harbor areas of Manhasset, Roslyn, Port Washington, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay....on out to Mount Sinai, the whole coast is elevated from a maximum of a half-mile inward. I wouldn't budge and would worry only about the wind.
He's the baptist bozo who posted the sign that stated "New Orleans is Sodom & Gamorrah" in the path of the displaced refugees.
