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!
