If you are reading this then you are neither boarding up your windows, running to higher ground, nor driving inland.
Please listen to me, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
Don’t hide under the bed like Dorothy.
Don’t take picture of lightning. (One of my favorite pastimes.)
Don’t go jet skiing like these fools!
Don’t set up your lawn chairs to watch the storm come in while raising your fist in the air and shouting, “BRING IT ON MOTHR NATURE!“
Good luck my friends and take care of yourselves.

Fantastic post, Susie!
Great blog, Susie. Hope you and your neighbors are doing ok.
I am high and dry in Boulder, Co! I wrote it for my East Coast friends who all seemed to survive. Thank you so much for stopping by to read Piper!

Hi Madison! No they have never had a hurricane warning like this let alone evacuations.The storm surge is going to be fierce unless there is a miracle between now and tomorrow. They are closing 5 airports in and around NYC not allowing any flights in after noon tomorrow!!! The storm makes landfall between 5-6 in NC and will hit NY sometime Saturday night. What a storm!
I don’t ever remember a hurricane striking NYC before – has it happened in the past? Hope everyone in the area prepares and evacuates.
CNN: A hurricane warning has been issued from north of Sandy Hook to Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts, including New York, Long Island, Long Island Sound, coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island, Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
Authorities are worried about the storm surge and resulting flooding in the subways of NYC.
The winds have reached a velocity of 123 mph. They are trying to evacuate parts of NYC. It is predicted to make land fall there Saturday night.
