Those of us who live there know that the nice part about living in a small town is that when you are not quite sure what is going on, someone else always does!

National Weather Service New York NY
347 AM EST Tue Dec 22 2020
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southern Connecticut,
northeast New Jersey and <b><span style="color: red;">southeast New York</span></b>.
<b><span style="color: red;">A potent cold front will bring heavy rain and strong, gusty winds
Thursday night into Friday morning</span></b>. The combination of lingering snow
pack and heavy rain may bring flooding, with the highest potential
across northeast New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley, and southern
Connecticut. <b><span style="color: red;">The strongest winds are most likely to occur along
coastal areas, such as Long Island, New York City, and coastal
Connecticut where the potential exists for wind gusts 50 to 60 mph.</span></b>
There remains a fair amount of uncertainty in both the location of
heaviest rain and the magnitude of the winds.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation may be needed. Please safely report significant
weather conditions while following local, state, and CDC guidelines.</pre>The West 12th Road Block Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17485972778506743916noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525231365835650804.post-38123629310850225522020-12-17T05:04:00.003-05:002020-12-17T05:04:42.090-05:00URGENT - WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UIoDWpY8lxo/X9ss0DbCFsI/AAAAAAAAUJw/6pNKlKVT-EMZfnti44PLDWYdjkoPhrm5wCLcBGAsYHQ/s200/NWS%2B%25281%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UIoDWpY8lxo/X9ss0DbCFsI/AAAAAAAAUJw/6pNKlKVT-EMZfnti44PLDWYdjkoPhrm5wCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/NWS%2B%25281%2529.png" /></a></div><br /><p></p><pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px;">National Weather Service New York NY

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The ambitious $46 million project raised streets and added nearly half a mile of new storm sewers to reduce flooding in an area that is frequently inundated by Jamaica Bay during high tide and storms.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“This is a unique part of Queens that is highly vulnerable to flooding because of climate change and rising sea levels, and the city went above and beyond to not just add storm sewers but also to raise the streets,” Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Lorraine Grillo said. “We look forward to working with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Transportation to bring these improvements to other parts of Broad Channel.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Phase two of the work, a $67.7 million project that will affect an even larger adjacent area, began this summer and is anticipated to be completed by summer 2024.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The residents and businesses of Broad Channel have a special relationship with the natural world and Jamaica Bay in particular,” DEP Commissioner Vincent Sapienza said. “These New Yorkers are on the front lines of our changing climate and we were so pleased to join with our partner agencies to bring them some real relief with raised roadways and new catch basins, sewers and outfalls to drain the water from the roadways and away from their properties.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">West 11th Road, West 12th Road and West 13th Road from Cross Bay Boulevard west to the waterline were all rebuilt from the ground up during the project on more than 40,000 feet of piles driven 50 feet or more into the ground. The new streets are approximately two feet higher than before and now have 2,300 feet of new storm sewers with nine new catch basins, plus new bulkheads and outfalls that were added at the end of each street to allow stormwater to drain into the bay.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“As we all know, this is an area that was hard-hit by Sandy, and this massive street raising initiative will help mitigate the flooding in vulnerable areas throughout this community,” Councilman Eric Ulrich said. “I would also like to thank the residents of Broad Channel, who have been extremely patient throughout this entire process. Phase one was a great success, and we look forward to the completion of phase two, which will bring the same improvements to West 14th Road, West 15th Road, West 16th Road and West 17th Road.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Nearly 2,400 feet of sanitary sewers and 2,400 feet of water mains were replaced to ensure reliable water and sewage service, while nine fire hydrants were replaced to improve fire protection.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“This project, with its new storm sewers and raised streets, will go a long way in protecting this vulnerable community from large storms and flooding, thus improving the living conditions in Broad Channel,” state Senator Joseph Addabbo said. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">During the final restoration of the area, 2,500 feet of curbs and sidewalks were rebuilt and four new pedestrian ramps were added at Cross Bay Boulevard to improve safety and ADA accessibility.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: DINNextLTPro-Regular, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Today we have reached a great milestone for the Broad Channel community, who for years have fought to protect their residents from flooding and water damage from storms and other extreme weather events,” Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato said. “By investing in innovative infrastructure measures now, we are preventing future loss of homes and property, and saving ourselves millions of dollars in the long run. This victory today was only achieved through hard work on a granular level: constant phone calls with all stakeholders, meetings with contractors and individual homeowners, and numerous information sessions led by Dan Mundy Jr. and the Civic Association.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
A cloud hangs over Broad Channel’s sole bait shop, but not the flavored variety of vapor that emanated from its doors in the good times.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Vape, Bait & Tackle, formerly known as Vape Stop, has been struggling to find its footing ever since Mayor de Blasio signed into law a bill that banned the retail sale of flavored e-cigarette products in New York City starting last July. Gov. Cuomo signed a corresponding statewide ban that went into effect in July 2020.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“Our wonderful governor decided to kill my business. So I had no choice just to bring in something else,” said owner Leon Gindel.</div>
<div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_top" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Gindel knew that his model would take a big hit as soon as the flavor ban went into effect. Since the majority of his vape clients were boarders and fishermen, he figured he would try to pivot to a model that would kill two birds with one stone, and sling some bait and fishing equipment next to his vape stock of e-liquids, mods and atomizers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
But the idea is easier said than done. Vapes basically sold themselves, according to Gindel. The bait game is not the same story.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“I’m a new guy. It’s hard to get bait on time. On top of that because of the coronavirus, the wholesaler is like 80 percent empty on their stock, so it’s impossible to get hardware,” Gindel said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
He said that two bait shops in Howard Beach have a solid hold on the area’s customer base, and don’t want any new competition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“They have more customers, more traffic, they buy more [bait],” Gindel said.</div>
<div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_middle" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Gindel thinks area’s bait wholesaler has been coordinating with the other two shops to leave him in the lurch. That day he was told that the wholesaler had run out of worms, so he had to travel up to his competition, who seemed to have fresh stock, to buy them at retail price.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“Everybody got the bait except me,” Gindel said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It’s been a year since the city’s flavor ban, and Gindel is still sore about it. The burgeoning network of vape startups and wholesalers that exploded in number several years ago was so accessible to retailers, he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“When I was opening a vape shop, wholesalers would give me free stuff, posters. They tried to help me,” Gindel said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Though the number of youth using e-cigarettes, primarily the Juul brand, had surged to over 5 million, with nearly 1 million youth using the product daily as of 2019, Gindel argued, as many in the industry did, that vapes were fundamentally a smoking cessation tool that “saves lives.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
He believed in his business, though he knows that the political reality is not likely to change any time soon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“There’s no turning back,” he said.</div>

After more than five years of planning and construction, on Tuesday the city celebrated the completion of the first phase of a resiliency project in Broad Channel aimed at combating chronic flooding that has plagued the neighborhood for years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The $46 million project has so far raised the street level from West 11th to West 13th roads and added almost half a mile of new storm sewers to reduce flooding in an area that is frequently inundated by Jamaica Bay during high tides and storms.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Administrators involved in the project, which was managed by the departments of Design and Construction for the Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection, gathered a group of elected and civic leaders on Tuesday who marveled at the project’s progress.</div>
<div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_top" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

Part of the project involved removing curbing from the street, in an unorthodox street plan that took meeting after meeting with civic leaders to bring them on board with the concept.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) said it was a miracle that it all worked out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“This project had every ingredient not to happen: between the moving parts of multiple agencies, $46 million at a time when the city is not doing well financially, catch basins, storm sewers, bulkheads — this project had every reason not to happen in our lifetime. But it did,” Addabbo said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Phase 2 of the work, a $67.7 million project that will extend from West 14th to West 17th roads, began this summer and is anticipated to be completed in summer 2024.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The project is designed to protect Broad Channel’s residences against the rising sea level caused by climate change. Beyond raising the street up, it created a system of storm drains and catch basins that prevents flooding by funneling runoff into Jamaica Bay.</div>
<div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_middle" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“If there ever was a wake-up call, it was Hurricane Sandy. It not only woke up the people not only in this community but all across the city that climate change is real,” said Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park). “We’ve got to put the shovel in the ground and put money in the budget and come up with creative solutions.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway Park) added to the sentiment by pointing out that constituents on the peninsula and in Broad Channel have been living there for generations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“Investing in our communities surrounded by water is important because we’re not moving,” Pheffer Amato said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
All three representatives also expressed their appreciation for Broad Channel Civic Association President Dan Mundy Jr. and his father, Dan Mundy Sr., who led the effort from the community side and put in countless hours to make sure the project suited their needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
To execute the project, the three roads jutting out from Cross Bay Boulevard west to the waterline were all rebuilt from the ground up on more piles of material driven 50 feet or more into the ground.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The new streets are approximately 2 feet higher than before and now have 2,300 feet of new storm sewers with nine new catch basins, plus new bulkheads and outfalls that were added at the end of each roadway to allow stormwater to drain into the bay.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Another six existing catch basins were replaced at Cross Bay Boulevard. Sanitary sewers and water mains were also replaced as part of the project.</div>

...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 8 PM EDT
WEDNESDAY...
* WHAT...Heat index values up to 97 expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey, southern Connecticut
and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From noon today to 8 PM EDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses to occur.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees
for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any
length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health
conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air
conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that
has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members
and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.</pre>

National Weather Service New York NY
327 AM EDT Tue Aug 4 2020
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING
TO 1 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...
* WHAT...<b><span style="color: red;">Two to three feet of inundation above ground level </span></b></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px;"><b><span style="color: red;"> expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.</span></b></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px;"><span style="color: red;"><b> [NOTE: </b></span>There is still uncertainty on when the</pre>
<pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px;"><pre style="padding-left: 20px;">peak surge arrives. This forecast is based on a worst case
scenario, with a 2-3 ft surge coming in at the time of high tide
Tuesday Night. If the surge peaks earlier, then water levels
and inundation will be less than forecast.</pre>
</pre>
<pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; text-align: left;"></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px;">* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...There is an elevated threat of
property damage. Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas near
the waterfront and shoreline. Expect 2 to 3 feet of inundation
above ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. This will
result in numerous road closures and cause widespread flooding
of low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and
homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront. Vehicles
parked in vulnerable areas near the waterfront will likely
become flooded. Flooding will also extend inland from the
waterfront along tidal rivers and bays.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 ft will
result in considerable erosion of dune structures and
localized overwashes along the ocean beach front. This may
resulting in some flooding of roadways and vulnerable
structures behind protective dunes.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with
you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax
and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in
a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face
the shore and yell or wave for help.

National Weather Service New York NY

* WHAT...<b><span style="color: red;">Heat index values up to 96 expected.</span></b>
* WHERE...New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Richmond (Staten Island),
Kings (Brooklyn), Northern Queens and <span style="color: red;"><b>Southern Queens</b></span> Counties.
* WHEN...<b><span style="color: red;">From noon today to 6 PM EDT Thursday</span></b>.
* IMPACTS...<b><span style="color: red;">Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses to occur</span></b>.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees
for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any
length of time.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out
of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young
children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health
conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air
conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when
possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent
rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone
overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.
Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.</pre>
