Who's tired of bad weather? Everyone! Yet here's a picture of the corner of Atlantic and South Long Beach about half an hour ago!
Yep. Nice and snowy. Just the way post-hurricane areas are, right?
In all seriousness, Freeport Schools had to let out two hours early in order to evacuate their buildings in the event of a sudden recurrence of flood-waters. From what I saw in Freeport, it hadn't - YET - begun to flood badly. Then again, I didn't go that far south because I was already having difficulty driving - or, rather, others were, as I'd already been hit once. No damage to my vehicle, fortunately!
Plenty of people have talked about the schools closing tomorrow, but I have heard absolutely nothing to confirm that. Chances are a decision won't be made for a few hours, but The Weekly Freeporter will try (if possible) to bring you the latest. Until they're closed, assume they're open - except, that is, for Giblyn, which is still closed.
At this point, I am obligated to remind you all of a few quick facts...
1: The Weekly Freeporter is not a weather service, but an information service. A free one.
2: The Village Webpage is also not a weather service, but an information service. Paid-for by taxes.
3: Weather updates are a form of information; severe weather updates are an important sub-category of information.
4: The populace needs to know about important information. Promptly.
Draw your own conclusions, because to be honest, it's starting to verge on negligence. And, no, a "weather" tab does not count. Especially one sending clickees to East Meadow Public Library.
