Looking now at the hurricane tracker app and the NHS forecast has it as a tropical storm when it's off of Long Island now. That's somewhat of a relief.

So the 5day from Wunderground (worst effing name ever) has it curling south of NE/LI as tropical storm. But it has been edging west and closer and closer to NE

What will really be ironic is that regardless of how close it comes, there will still be people whining about the rain and wind like it was a cat 5 storm sitting right on top of them!

We get the same knee-jerk (emphasis on the "jerk") reaction to ANY storms we get because we don't see too many "life altering" events.
When was the last major weather-related event that destroyed property, shut down the city and caused significant loss of life?

If it's gonna hit us, do it fast and get it over with.
Don't do a "Harvey" number on us and sit around for days....wait, isn't that what the blizzard of '78 did????

We shall survive, we will get through this and the fish may still be there afterwards...
