I'd rather be stuck at my house than somewhere upstate wondering how much water is in my house. And I think this is being blown out of proportion. It already hit in Carolina, was their damage done?
I live not too far from you (Howard Beach). I left.
I watched the news before, one of the reporters was in the middle of the flood during the storm in Carolina. The water was up to at least his knees. If you don't think that's too bad, keep in mind that he was about a mile or two inland and not right on the beach.
If you don't change your mind, good luck out there.
By the way, I heard Norm never sold his house in Long Island and it's vacant but still furnished. Someone told me that you can stay at his place since you were one of his only supporters. ;-D
