re: #591 lawhawk

I tune out the news and stick with the models and storm track and look to the scientific discussions instead. A LI hit would be pretty bad, and I’ve got a lot of family living there. I’m worried for them, since they’re likely to get hit with the strongest rains and wind but the storm should be reduced in power by the time it gets up here - and the wind shear and interaction with the coast/land reduces its power further. Big issue could be if it slows down and dumps a whole lot of rain causing significant flooding.

I lived in Bay Shore when Hurricane Gloria hit in ‘85, and I’m not the least bit interested in living through that again. I’m just hoping it weakens before it gets here. Rain, I can put up with. Destruction on the scale of what I saw in ‘85, not so much.
