on LI we keep an eye on the local ocean water temp.
Cold water is a storm killer; if the ocean stays below 70, the North East is usually safe, good news for us, bad news for the South east.
the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.
