This was 2 days before I was getting married. I was in Queens and only lost phone service. Winds appeared stronger as Gloria exited. My bride-to-be in Hicksville lost power and was flipping out until it was restored 21 hours before the ceremony. The 29th was such a beautiful,warm day- 81°. Honeymooned upstate and remember seeing newspaper reports of parts of Long Island being w/o power 9 days later.
