Don’t be like me and take pictures of lightning. (A favorite pastime of mine…)
Don’t go jet skiing like these fools!
And for God’s sake don’t set up lawn chairs in your yard to watch the storm come in while raising your fist to the sky and shouting, “BRING IT ON MOTHER NATURE!”
But seriously, good luck my friends and take care of yourselves……
Nice Photos !

I don’t ever remember a hurricane striking NYC before – has it happened in the past? Hope everyone in the area prepares and evacuates.

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!
