First Flooding Reports in Freeport (Sandy Update #4)

Quick update:

 - We're yet to get seriously inclement weather, like massive thunderstorms.  It's ugly, but not bad.
 - Hurricane Sandy's center itself is still pretty far south; it isn't gonna make an actual landfall until Monday.
 - Reports of flooding have come in from many residents; Long Beach, Bayview, and Roosevelt are just some of the streets being inundated.

Unlike last year's Irene incident, this is looking like a much more vicious storm.  If you're still down south, it's my strong recommendation to get out if you can find a way.  If you haven't already, and you aren't in an evacuation zone, I'd still suggest you get your valuables to higher ground just in case.  Remember what I said about places located near canals - they are very likely to flood, even if places further south haven't.

Try to make sure you have a fully-charged phone/laptop battery/radio, so you can get the best odds of communication you need.  This goes double if you're one of those who refuses to evacuate.

If you need a shelter, once again, here's a list of Nassau County ones.


Be safe, and updates will follow.  If you have an update, contact us on Facebook!
