On expected current track east of NYC, no extreme storm surge for the city, wind less than maximum. Expect heavy rain (low-lying areas flooded), trees blocking transportation corridors, widespread power outages (due to more downed trees from existing rain-soaked ground). Coastal areas and islands do need to be evacuated. Have survival supplies on hand for minimum of 72 hours.

(My take: If the storm does not turn as predicted by the models and forecasters, things could be bad - be prepared.)

The only thing I’m worried about is losing power. I can’t go without FReeping for too long.

They’ve been pretty good at removing branches away from the powerlines in my area.

But my landlords backyard is ALL woods.
