It's gonna be a damned mess. All the TV is talking about is New York, New York, New York but the Jersey side is going to get hammered. If the predictions on storm track and intensity hold, you can expect places like Hoboken and Jersey City to look like New Orleans after Katrina, with jonboats being the preferred means of transportation. I would not want to be out by Montauk, either.
It's not a minor storm when NYC decides to stop the subway. That has never happened before. Ever. It will stop at noon tomorrow. Nor have they ever ordered mandatory evacuations, until today.
Here in Maine, we're looking at getting hit starting sometime around noon Sunday, with the storm going about 24 hours or so. We're a bit better off in that we don't have the extensive marshes and lowlands like Jersey, nor do we have big beaches to wash away, nor do we have huge populations close to the water like in and around NYC. We'll lose trees and power lines, and some houses will lose their roofs, but I doubt we'll see flooding like they will further south.
