5. My daughter lives in Lindenhurst near the water

They evacuated her area, as they did during Irene. She isn't DIRECTLY on the water, but they were still ordered to go. Monday morning she went to stay with her fiance in West Babylon (inland) and dropped her cat off here at the sister's house in Levittown (inland).

While they lost power, there was no danger of drowning, or house being washed away, being nowhere near the water.

When officials tell people to evacuate, LISTEN to them. They can go to a shelter, OR, if they have friends and relatives farther away from the shore go there.

From experience, as an emergency worker, nadinbrzezinski Nov 2012 #7

There are always people who refuse to evacuate when told to. MineralMan Nov 2012 #8

Agreed. They are a total danger to 1st responders, and hurt others who followed the rules. progressivebydesign Nov 2012 #11

To the best of my knowledge it is true LiberalEsto Nov 2012 #17

OK. The person's daughter still should have evacuated. MineralMan Nov 2012 #18
