Hurricane Earl Long Island: Be Prepared This Weekend!

The weather Gods are predicting that Hurricane Earl will come up to the Northeast and may be 200-300 miles off the coast of Long Island.

Most Long Islanders never believe a hurricane will hit us due to primarily that our waters are colder. Either way, be prepared by having 3 days worth of food and water. Don't forget batteries for your flashlights and keep candles handy.

Remember Hurricane Bob in 1991? Long Island didn't get directly hit and we had no power for days. Like I said, it's smart to be prepared because you never know.

That goes for you surfers too! I know it's foolish of me to tell you to stay out of the water because you are going to do it anyway so stay safe :)

This has been a public service announcement. :)

Thanks Jackie, I've been so busy lately I haven't even been following the news. I'll go grocery shopping tomorrow!

If any Long Islanders don't think a hurricane will stop by to take a visit, all they have to do is look at the pictures of the devastation Gloria caused.

I was living there at the time and can tell you first hand: BE PREPARED!

It is always better to be safe than sorry.  I must say thought that I'm glad my daughter is heading to Atlanta on Thursday.

Glad I live in Colorado... all we have to worry about are the occasional tornadoes in the summer and the blizzards in the winter!   :)
