Be safe. It is headed in my directions as well here in NY. All parkways and public transportation have been suspended as of 9 p.m. NYC schools have been closed. I am as prepared as I can be. Have not been able to get batteries for 3 days. I think the wind is going to be a major issue. I have packed a bag with my meds, clothes, vitamins and protein powder in the event I lose power, or can't get home. I work for a hospital so I will be going to work. Any in Sandy's path be safe and don't take chances.
