Good thing is she does not live in Manhattan, but around Jersey City. She does work in Manhattan, however ...we’ll see if she can get in by Monday.
I’ll TRY not to worry, but it’s hard ...;0
I told her to prepare. She’s listening ...but whatever. I’ll have to let her live and learn.
Just heard from a friend who grew up on the LI beach; lived through many other hurricanes & NEasters. She & family are sitting out Ms. Irene, as she calls this thing, in Jersey City.
Am not worried about her.
After it goes through they should be able to walk to stores (which will wat to open) etc., so power outages are more of an inconvenience than a danger.
As for my other relatives on the Va.Beach & Jersey Shore, I hope they got out yesterday and today.
That's a hard part of parenting sometimes, from my experience, but sometimes the only way they learn.
Just linked on to this. Maybe it will be helpful. I suppose JC could see some considerable effect, anyway.
