*sigh* I guess we're overdue. BTW, we live in Long Beach, NY which is a tiny sandbar right on the Atlantic Ocean.
Sounds like you are close enough to the water to be concerned with storm surge - the surge that hit Biloxi/Gulfport MS WHERE KATRINA ACTUALLY HIT (N.O. was something else entirely no matter what the news tells you).... storm surge was OVER THE TOP OF THE LIGHT HOUSE.....it was high enough to lift a casino barge over the beach, the road, and leave it ON TOP OF A TWO STORY HOTEL...
So.... take your valuables, your important papers, your pictures, etc, anything you absolutely do not want to lose... if you come home after the storm and everything is just as you left it, count your blessings, if there is nothing left but the foundation be thankful that you had the foresight to save your most precious things......
I so agree with this, if predictions are correct you will be in the notheast quadrant which is said to the be worst during the storm so please GET OUT, do not even attempt to stay and get away from the coast, don't go to an area that is subject to flooding. Take everything you do not want to lose.
