Park your car away from trees. I parked on a block with like no trees. There is a telephone pole nearby, but I bet the city would pay for that. Anyway, they don't know what is going to happen in New England yet. (Old England like never got hurricanes. Except the Hawker Hurricane during the battle of britian.)

That is crazy. They are throwing all the homeless people into the street for the hurricane.
So they should let them drown?

Not very bright of them. There may be live wires in the lake as per LPD.

Well, we didnt plan on being there but my wife and I spent last night in a public (red cross) shelter  :o

We spent Shabbos in BP and thought we can beat the storm and make it back to Lakewood in time..... we didnt.
We had to  pull off the GSP into a state trooper station and they sent us to a local high school that was converted to a shelter. Everyone who slept in their own beds last night, count your blessings... ;D

I asked for a corner suite with a view. We got the corner ... with a view :)
Woke up face to face with a LARGE cockroach, they wouldnt refund the points though, got a free bottle of water instead.

in NY by Sleeping in a Shelter you can become eligible for Section 8, maybe you can try your luck  :)
