I’m most worried about flooding in Pennsylvania, NJ, and NY. Just a couple of weeks ago, they got up to 10 inches of rain (Central Park was 5.5” and JFK Airport was 7.75”). The ground is saturated and won’t be able to absorb another 6-12 inches of water.
That’s my great fear. The ground truly is saturated in points around my yard. In other areas, it’s fine.
News just in: Mayor of NY declared a mandatory evacuation of sections of the city. Asking people to start leaving now, and for sure to start by tomorrow afternoon when the transit system will be shut down. Sounds like Bloomberg wants the people to get serious, get out, and not take any chances. Question is...where in the world are all those homeless people going to go and how are they going to get there? Hope they do a better job than the mayor of New Orleans did in getting people out. (Of course, that was Bush’s fault, LOL /sarc)
