Our area is now under a "Hurricane Watch" meaning that tropical force winds are possible within 48 hours. That advisory will be updated to a "Hurricane Warning" later today when topical force winds are expected within 36 hours. Unfortunately, the storm's projected track continues to indicate it will cross over (or very close) to our area.
Additionally, a "Flood Watch" has been issued for our area from Saturday evening through Sunday night.
Earlier this morning I received the below email message from Queens Community Board 14....
It would be wise for all Rockaway & Broad Channel residents to top off gas tanks get batteries for flashlights, charge cell phones.
And stay tuned to radio, TV to see if mayor orders evacuation of Communities in CB14 He will make call between late afternoon and early evening.
Those who live in Broad Channel and Breezy point and other neighborhoods in Rockaway should call friends on main land and make plans to stay with them if evacuation is ordered. Do this now!!!
NY1 was on West 12th Road early yesterday morning asking residents about the pending storm.
