All is good, guys. The latest forecast shows the storm moving east and =
it looks like the eye is going to miss Long Island. There will =
certainly be lots of rain and wind and I still expect to lose power at =
some point, so this will all be of use very soon. Right now it is just =
wet and windy, but nothing like we are expecting in a few hours. More =
later.
