I can appreciate your pain in waiting. We will be over a year from the time we visited and plunked down money on a lot to the time my husband retires. (We will be frogs). In any event, we now live in Montgomery County-waiting for the worst of the hurricane to hit! Nice to meet you.

The sea buoy's off long Island are reporting wave heights of 30-50 feet, those waves are going to hit the Fire Island barrier island, capable of breaching the island, they expect houses could wash away, may get a new inlet.

Wind now gusting into low 50's, they say it's really going to get interesting after 6PM.

The water at my sons bulkhead only has 30" to go until it washes over, they expect it to get 5-6 feet higher. Going to be close to his first floor level.

If it washes the bulk head out --- no insurance.

20,000 without power and it really hasn't started to get bad.

Please stay safe, all you "northerners". We know you well enough to know that the only reason you would fall silent is the loss of power! Do stay in touch. We care.

Jimbo, I'm so sorry to hear the potential for loss your son is facing, with the worst of the storm yet to come. We will pray for your family.

We have a biz located in Copiague next door to your son, also Selden and Carle Pl., all require electric we have big ass generators standing by.

Tonite is going to get much worse they say.


GOOD LUCK! Hope everything works out. And, of course, STAY SAFE!

My bulkheading survived storms where the waves were crashing over it, throwing debris (picnic tables, bikes) onto it, and mine was old. It will probably be okay, this is what it was designed to do.

If your from Long Island and want up to date Photos go to News12 Long Island web site they have over 600 photos. The Island is getting hammered as well as Atlantic City where the roads are being washed out already.
