Hello, friends,
I hope you're all doing well.
Well, Freeporters and Long Islanders in general, it's that time of year, again! We've got a hurricane coming our way. It's name is Henri. Say, "Hello, Henri!" Anyway: According to Accuweather, this is Hurricane Henri's most likely approach - and it's gonna broadside Long Island this weekend, predominantly on Sunday.
I feel like I used to have a handy-dandy list of hurricane tips, but to be honest you're all probably pretty well-acquainted with them - and, if not, you're certainly familiar with basic tenants of storm preparations. If not, may I direct you to the CDC's website for hurricane and tropical storm planning?
I remember seeing the weather on TV and hearing that Henri was likely to head east of where it's now predicted. I also remember, much more recently, seeing the phrase, "The 'Sandy' Hook" pop up on the internet as a reference to the devastation Hurricane Sandy caused and how it seemed to go out to see and then came back towards the island from the east.
This time, there doesn't seem to be a Nor'Easter colliding with the hurricane, though, so hopefully we'll be alright.
Jesse Pohlman is an author from Long Island, New York. His website is at this link, where he hocks his sci-fi/fantasy novels that, hey, you can read during the storm!
