[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Dilly, my Sister who resides on Long Island Sound in Riverside, CT, also is of the same "overblown" thought that you hold. Here I am watching Weather Channel, where the norm seems to be reporting the weather as if it were a sporting event (and for that matter CNBC with the stock market), and phoning her up (surprised they worked) saying haven't you bailed yet? "We're sticking it out". "I know I'd be on the phone to Hyatt to see if a room is open, if not them somewhere else', "what would pooch think of that?', "oh". Apparently, Town of Greenwich has some kind of "robo-call" system telling people in what they think are flood zones to bail out. While she told me the wetlands on her "spread" were flooded over, the house some 30ft ASL was quite intact and as of 4PM yesterday, they still had the juice. My Niece and two Nephews, who all live in various parts of Brooklyn (DUMBO, Park Slope, Red Hook) had also reported in and said all was "passable OK". However, let it be noted that "we from the Northeast" do know adverse weather beyond a NorEaster. On August 31, 1954, I was aboard a 36ft sail boat moored in Stonington CT (TWC had a reporter there this go around) when Cat 3 Carol came a callin'. The mooring held, but a lot of flotsam floating about and several boats were beached atop the New Haven (now Amtrak NEC). [/QB][/QUOTE]
