STORM STATUS REPORT
Effective this morning at 5:00 a.m., a status report on Sandy will be posted in the top right hand column of this blog every 3 to 4 hours.
This status report will provide you with:
Category: The current clasification of the storm (Tropical Storm - winds 39-73 mph or Hurricane - winds 74+mph)
Location: The distance of the center of the storm from Broad Channel at the time of the status report.
Movement: The direction and speed of the storm at the time of the status report
Wind: Sustained wind speed of the storm (in mph) at the time of the status report.
Pressure: Barometric presure of the storm's center (in millibars) at the time of the status report
(*) Landfall Track: The projected track of the storm's center landfall at the time of the status report.
Evacuation Order: Status of any Mayoral Evacuation Order for Broad Channel (Mandatory, Voluntary, None)
(*): Note - a projected landfall track south of Broad Channel indicates that our community is in danger of serious storm surge tidal flooding starting early Monday morning and continuing through Tuesday.
We will be monitoring the storm very closely and it's impact on Broad Channel over the next few days and, absent a power outage, we will continue to post updates, advisories, pictures and all other pertinent information on this site as they become available.
Before the storm hits, please check with your neighbors to ascertain if they require assistance and then stay in contact with each other during the storm.
Once the storm starts in earnest, with area winds projected at 60 - 80 mph and an accompanying serious storm surge tide, please stay inside your home until the storm passes so as not to risk serious injury.
If you have any information, pictures, questions or comments you would like to share with your neighbors please email us at w12thrdblockassociation@gmail.com or call me directly at 718-945-0805 and we will post them right away.
As an aside, I received the below email from one of our neighbors last evening which all of you should be aware of.
Pete: There is a flyer being put in peoples mailboxes, advertising an "adjuster" service in case home is
damaged during Hurricane Sandy. It appears to be a legitimate business; however, they charge the homeowner for the service.
Most insurance companies, FEMA, and National Flood send out their own adjustors, and the service is free.
Mentioning this, just so folks know they don't have to be paying anything out of pocket in case they need help if there is damage from the storm.
