OT: My grandma just had to be rescued by my dad from tidal flooding in Lindenhurst NY. There were no mandatory evacs. as of this morning (atleast that's what I was told). In the 60 years living there, they never had water up to the house, it was surrounding the house nearly 2 feet deep.

I don't normally ask anyone to do this, but say a prayer for my state tonight, I'd appreciate it. I can't even begin to explain how bad things are down here. So many rescues ongoing east of me, of morons who stayed, scrambling to get them out before the next high tide. At that point they won't be getting out. This could be our Katrina, and at this point, that's not an exaggeration. Most of our shore towns will never be the same again. The state has requested our boat to go down to the shore, with a task force and I'll probably be leaving within the hour.

Good luck, be careful, and thank you for what you're doing. Make sure you smack each and every rescued adult upside the head for all of us.
