bayville is holdin on so far, i just went out to goto the store, and i go out my door and thought it was not that bad, well as soon as i left my neighborhood and the trees arent blocking the wind, holy hell....the wind was blowin my truck around, some moron decided to drive down this road through the wetlands that get flooded when a dog takes a piss...well hes stuck in the middle of what looks like the bay.....gettin nuts.
Now 54,000 LIPA customers with no power. LIPA recalled all repaid crews until the weather improves.No repair work being done now. LIPA spokeman said could take 7 to 10 days before power gets restored.
My town is still doing okay. Wind is getting a lot stronger. Heavier rains. Stuck watching my little cousin play Madden.
Landfall expected between 600 630. The next 4 hours things get much worse up and down the Jersey coast..wind gusts will almost double. L.I. and the harbor rising fast.
Power is flickering..restart on computer 3 times. Not long for this...will take awhile to re-hook generator to everything. Very important...keep on the WTC..landfall will be in the next 4 hours. If you are going to lose power it will probably happen in the next 5 -7 hours. in NJ,NYC, LI, S.C. Good luck guys..and oh...friggin Jets...
Winds are definitely starting to pick up here in Northern Westchester. Not much rain yet and a few small branches down.
