wouldn't a battery powered light source be more effective (and safer) than charcoal/lighter fluid?
bigger concern is the flooding as opposed to the wind, but this storm is HUGE and with the slow movement.....flooding will be an issue.

Big hurricanes always seem to die down to tropical storms by the time they hit NYC

Thanks for the tips bros, just don't want to get caught thinking I'm too cool to be worried....I already thought about moving all electronics away from my windows, told my wife to buy an electric lantern and trying to talk her into
Staying with my mother who lives in the same building as her brother....let's hope everyone is safe, I'll brace myself for anyone who might come in through our ER injured, hopefully not, since we are not a trauma center, but we will do our best, be safe NY.

Being on a 7th floor, we rely on power to pump the water up, so if the power on those pumps go....so does our water, cold or hot...I think power outtage might be inevitable at this point...I don't see all the trees on my street not being torn off the ground with 100+ MPH and destroying powerlines.
I think those that are most worried are the older NTers who are the stronghold of their families and who have property they've worked hard for that can be stripped away or damaged easily...younger NTers rely on their parents to know the right thing to do...I don't blame them, I guess.

Personally, I dont think its gonna be that bad for yall. However, the winds might not be that bad, but I think the main concern here is gonna be the storm surge and amount of rain that is going to be coming your way. The storm is HUGE.
It's always better to be ready and it be weak, rather than get caught off guard.

It will not be tropical storm by the time it gets here.
Its fine to not make a "big deal" out of it...but I will definitively be prepared with some flashlights, charged batteries, bottled water, battery powered radio and a first aid kit.
Its a slow steady storm so a branch can easily knock your power out, and if you're not prepared you will be left int he dark and no way to stay updated.

Do you really think is safe to drive through a hurricane with close to 100 mph winds and large amounts of rainfall in which you will most likely have 0 visibility....think not ^^^bro...stay home.
