Hurrican Irene Headed Our Way!

10 is supposed to be the high tide in Amityville. It does keep edging up here. I now have around a foot and half of water on my dock. Power is still on. Winds are strong but not ridiculously so.
 
I think high tide in Lindenhurst was closer to 9, so we should be done?
I am coming south at 10.
 
Just watched my neighbors LARGE tree in his front yard go over, no cars parked there cuz they would be under water.
 
Dave,

South of Montauk Hwy is flooded. Its a long walk thru 4' of water from Montauk to the Anchorage. Maybe bring a PFD,,,no kidding, we were wearing them on the dock tending lines earlier. Good luck.

Weather Channel says Irene just officially made landfall in NYC with 65mph winds, it's a TS now.
 
Lindenhurst weather update at 9:15 am:

Strongest winds of the storm right now. No rain. Bay is over the seawall and on the street. High tide is 9:56am so we will be getting a rising water experience for the next two hours. We still have electric, internet and Directv.

All is well.

Has anyone made it to the Anchorage yet this morning? Been at work since 0700 yesterday won't be able to make it down until Monday night at 7pm when I get off. If anyone can advise that would be great.

Thanks
 
OK. I now have a debris line in my driveway. The water has retreated. From where it is hitting my deck in back, I'd say it's down an inch from the high.
 
Looks like water is starting to receed here in Lindenhurst on the west babylon line
 
Just heard boats ok ! No power in bellmore since 2 am .

Shore road is flooded . No surprise there

Hope everyone is safe

tide is receding in west islip a bit. was inces away from floating my sharpie off the trailer. i was about to see if boats could float with a trailer tied to it.
 
Any Wantagh/Bellmore updates? I'm up the canal near merrick rd across from Mill Pond. I'm sure the water will have breached my bulkhead...the question is how high?
 
Now over 400K without power
