ROGER KIMBALL: Weather Worries. “We live about 150 feet from Long Island Sound. My worry is that, over the next couple of days, that distance is going to shrink to zero.”
UPDATE: Latest Sandy update from Brendan Loy. “If you’re in an impacted region, today is your last day to prepare. By tonight, weather conditions will already be deteriorating. So, as the weather service always says at times like these, ‘Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.’ (Preparedness links can be found at the bottom of this post.) . . . DO NOT STAY PUT, IGNORING EVACUATION ORDERS, SIMPLY BECAUSE YOUR HOME WAS FINE IN SOME PREVIOUS STORM.”
