Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
It is too bad that the storm is coming now at one of the busiest tourist times for the east end of LI.
This weekend is a bust except for battery and bottled water sales. Power outages could shutdown things during the coming week.

But how will I know what time it is without the LIRR trains going by?

with 37* time zones currently in use on Earth, it's 5 o'clock 74 times a day, no more, no less, not always. [/pedant]
*turns out there're some weird time zones out there

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Seems strange that when we are expecting TS strength winds in 5 hours that the air is so still now.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Our hurricane wimped out, but we're under a flash flood watch for Sunday & Monday. Possible high winds as well. Don't care. Usually, I'd be worried about my road washing out (again) and/or downed trees, then I remembered it doesn't matter. I love working from home!

No. I forgot. I only remember when a storm is coming in.... I better go to the store in the morning.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
The storm track now has trended further east.
Landfall now expected to be near the Connecticut/Rhode Island border. Sorry about that New England.
The NF still will have hours of TS force winds but will avoid the worst of it.

For those worried about New England, on the current track Henri will weaken as it passes over cooler water north of the Gulf Stream and so may be below hurricane strength before landfall.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
We have escaped the worst of the potential wind.
Heavy rain all day.
Fine with me.

So far so good. Some power outages on the South Fork and Rhode Island.
