NY FReeper here! I’ve been lurking this thread since it started, NN does a great job.
I live on one of - if not, the smallest inhabited islands in NYC. We are 1 1/2 miles long by 1/2 mile wide at the widest point, comfortably nestled in the throat of Long Island Sound.
Will give updates if the power holds out, but... well I don’t expect it, powerlines and trees don’t do well in storms.
Is that City Island?
Glad you checked in with us. Sounds like you are in an interesting location. What is your elevation?
I’m guessing you’re on City Island. I’m right across the way here on Manhasset Isle. Guess we’ll see what high tide’s like tomorrow morning around 11:20 - the storm center’s expected to be here about noon. I have about 4 1/2 feet of height and 30 feet of linear distance separating my living room floor from the everyday high tide mark.. has the potential to be a really lousy Sunday morning.

How high are you above the ocean? The estimates are for 5-9 foot storm surge. If that happens, much of lower Manhattan could get flooded.
thanks ...Freepers Rule!
