my family is on Long Island and my sister on the south shore on a canal, in a town called Babylon, two doors down they are taking a lot of water in, she says she thinks they will be OK because they are higher, hard to believe but they still have power, a lot in their town have evacuated. My parents are in a town called East Meadow and I heard that has really bad winds, some of my FB friends that still live there have lost large trees and have broken windows and flying sheds etc. my dad at 85 just bought a generator, not sure what is worse him trying to operate it or them without power, typical their cell phone is not turned on and we can't talk with them, they are probably OK, but talking to them gives me some comfort, here in MI we have 50 MPH wind and it's scary so I can't even imagine what it must be like for you on the east coast. please be safe everyone. |
