Schools are closed all over in MA, we're getting some pretty strong wind gusts and I think they expect to lose power everywhere - trees still have their leaves, so they're more likely to lose limbs with this wind, thus knocking over power lines and creating general disasters. My in-laws are in town, they were planning on leaving today but all flights are cancelled today and tomorrow because of the wind. Hope that all TL folks stay safe! Here's to us all being able to get to MLG. :-) | ||

Best of luck to my East Coast fellow Americans, hurricanes suck especially since you guys probably don't have hurricane plans. If its really bad prepare for long power outages and generator shortages. Might be good to pick one up now. | ||

But seriously, this storm is looking like something else. I'm actually really glad my family doesn't live in MA any more. I'll be praying for you guys, the next few days are going to suck. pre-edit: And now I've actually read your blog. Nice article! I hadn't really taken the time to read too much about the storm, sounds like this is really going to be one for the record books. | ||

I told her to stock up on non-perishable foods and candles, and to store them in her bathtub because I think there will be any water supply. Are there any last minute tips you guys have for her? I can facebook them to her. | ||

Rain didn't start til late last night, and the rain itself isn't that bad yet. But my window looks out over the Hudson, and it definitely looks like the winds are pretty strong. | ||

Question... and this may be a dumb one, so I apologize... but doesn't a "mandatory" evacuation zone imply that you're forced to go somewhere else? Can you get in trouble with the law if you don't? | ||

I know it looks terrible and tbh it really is, BUT at the same time if everyone over prepares I think we the storm will pass with minimal damage. | ||

Can you get in trouble with the law if you don't? You're supposed to, but there's no way they have the time or resources to round up all ~375,000 who live in the evacuation zones. I would say about 1/3 of my building stayed behind. You really just can't be seen out in the street - there are NYPD trucks riding around with megaphones telling people to get out of the area, but you don't get in legal trouble for staying. | ||
