UPDATE:
8:50 p.m., Saturday, August 27
Authorities say there’s still room—and a small window of time before weather conditions worsen—to head to area shelters.
Currently, the American Red Cross has shelters set up at Hampton Bays High School, East Hampton High School, Riverhead High School, and Eastport South Manor Middle and High School.
And while a pet shelter at the eastern campus of Suffolk County Community College in Northampton is full, shelters for residents are not, said Craig Cooper, public affairs supervisor for the American Red Cross on Long Island on Saturday night. “I am not aware of any shelters in Suffolk County that have reached capacity,” Mr. Cooper said.
To check if a shelter is at capacity, go to www.redcross.org.
As weather conditions deteriorate, shelters are seeing traffic, Mr. Cooper said. “Right now is... more

One would hope that before the East End declares the end of the world, that they will check the current forecasts, which call for Irene to diminish in strength, and possibly head to the ...more west of us, or perhaps degrade to a tropical storm.

All the choices we made
All the stages we passed through
All the roles we played
For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of ...more fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last...
Like a million little crossroads
Through the back streets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth
For so many different connections
Our separate paths might have made
With every door that we opened
Every game we played
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last...

PS: Do not come back next year or any year!
Almost all other munis on L Island geared up a few days ago just in case. As with everything else - SH Town will wait till the last possible minute. Good thing the storm looks to be weakening.
One thing we should all remember, the '38 Hurricane created the Shinnecock Inlet and widened the Moriches Inlet.
If memory serves correctly, it took a while for LIPA to restore power in the area after Bob, lots of downd trees, structual damage, I'm just saying people BE PREPARED, and if the east end is not your home...leave.
Regarding the wind direction, new moon high tide, etc. on Sunday night, recent comments above are spot-on IMO. Flooding of low lying areas is definitely a concern. If the eye goes west of us, the East End will be receiving winds from the South and Southeast in the dangerous quadrant of the storm, and the West end of various bays and harbors could be ...more impacted. In particular, the Riverhead area, and western Shinnecock Bay could be hard hit.
Am I mistaken about this?

Tub 2 filled with tonic
Limes check
Ready for storm
The shovelers and sandbag holder's never asked whether they were locals, owners, renters just pitched in!
Did the petroleum market receive a sufficient "fix"?
This article quotes officials as stating "mandatory"- which is it? Do we stay or must we go?
For clarification, the evacuations in the Town of Southampton are mandatory, based on the Executive Order Declaration of State of Emergency for anyone residing in low lying areas, coastal areas, areas previously known to have flooding issues either from tidal waters or rain or ground water and all mobile homes or trailers regardless of location.

This storm may be over IMO.
My lights are still on but I doubt for long. We are getting the "dirty side" of the hurricane, first with a new moon which raises the tides on a good day, and then the storm is coming in at high tide, now add the storm surge from the low pressure of the storm raising the seas 32 feet ...more East of Florida. Maybe we will get lucky and it will only raise our seas 22 feet. Add it all together and any areas near the water will be in serious trouble..
