Parts of Long Island will experience 65+mph winds if the center heads into central New Jersey. That's the worst case scenario for NYC as winds and surge will be stronger and last longer than if it hit us dead on. Unfortunately, that's what the model tracks currently tell us.
For you folks living around the area about to be hit, prepare as much as possible now. Get some extra water, batteries, food, while you still can. The hype will make all that run out the day before the storm.
Word of advice, look to your East (where the sun rose from), and secure what can possible tip over or fly into your house or car. That's where most of the strong wind gusts will come from. Stay safe fam.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
750 PM EDT FRI OCT 26 2012
...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...
...PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION FOR THE UPCOMING COASTAL STORM...
A DANGEROUS COASTAL STORM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK CLOSE TO THE TRI
STATE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE AREA COULD BE
FELT AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AND LAST THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. NOW IS
THE TIME TO START PLANNING FOR THESE POTENTIAL IMPACTS.
STAY INFORMED BY MONITORING THE LATEST HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM
ADVISORIES IN ADDITION TO YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOCAL
FORECASTS. LISTEN TO RADIO AND TELEVISION REPORTS...AS WELL AS NOAA
WEATHER RADIO TO GET THE LATEST ADVISORY UPDATES.
SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS STORM. FIND
OUT IF YOU LIVE WITHIN A STORM SURGE EVACUATION ZONE. KNOW THE
LOCATION OF DESIGNATED OFFICIAL SHELTERS AND LEARN THE MOST DIRECT
SAFE ROUTE TO GET THERE. MOST SHELTERS WILL NOT ALLOW PETS...AND
SOME SHELTERS HAVE FACILITIES FOR THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS...SO TAKE
THESE INTO CONSIDERATION. ADDITIONALLY...KNOW YOUR EVACUATION ROUTES
IN ADVANCE. MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE FOUND AT YOUR LOCAL TOWN
HALL...OR ON THE INTERNET AT YOUR COUNTY'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT WEBSITE.
LISTEN CAREFULLY TO LOCAL OFFICIALS AND EVACUATE THE AREA IF TOLD TO
DO SO. IF YOU DO NOT EVACUATE TO AN OFFICIAL SHELTER...YOU MAY
CONSIDER STAYING AT A FRIEND'S OR RELATIVE'S HOME OUT OF THE
EVACUATION ZONE. LEAVE LOW LYING OR COASTAL AREAS...AS WELL AS
OFFSHORE ISLANDS. THESE ARE THE LOCATIONS MOST PRONE TO STORM SURGE.
STORM SURGE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF A STORM SUCH AS THIS ONE.
THE SURGE IS A DOME OF WATER THAT COMES ACROSS THE COAST AS THE
STORM MAKES LANDFALL. IF YOU LIVE CLOSE TO THE COAST IN A MOBILE
HOME YOU SHOULD EVACUATE TO A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER...EVEN IF YOU
ARE NOT IN A STORM SURGE PRONE AREA.
SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY WITH THIS
STORM. BE PREPARED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF NEEDING TO HEAD TO HIGHER
GROUND IF YOU LIVE NEAR FLOOD PRONE RIVERS AND STREAMS.
IF EVACUATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR RECOMMENDED...STAY AT HOME IF YOUR
HOUSE IS STURDY AND ON HIGH GROUND.
STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FOR A RELATIVELY LONG
DURATION OF TIME. BE PREPARED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF POWER OUTAGES.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES...
OBTAIN A PORTABLE...BATTERY OPERATED RADIO ALONG WITH A FRESH
SUPPLY OF BATTERIES. A RADIO WILL BE ONE OF YOUR MOST USEFUL
SOURCES OF INFORMATION.
OBTAIN SEVERAL FLASHLIGHTS WITH FRESH BATTERIES. USE OF CANDLES
FOR LIGHTING IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SAFETY REASONS.
HAVE ENOUGH EXTRA BATTERIES TO LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THERE MAY BE
NO ELECTRICITY AFTER THE STORM.
HAVE A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE. NEVER LET YOUR
VEHICLE GAS TANK BE LESS THAN HALF FULL DURING A STORM LIKE THIS.
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED GAS PUMPS MAY FAIL DURING THE STORM.
OBTAIN CANNED GOODS AND NON PERISHABLE FOODS. THERE MAY BE NO
ELECTRICITY OR GAS AFTER THE STORM...SO STORE PACKAGED FOODS WHICH
CAN BE PREPARED WITHOUT COOKING AND NEED NO REFRIGERATION. REFILL
NEEDED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS.
OBTAIN CONTAINERS FOR DRINKING WATER. HAVE CLEAN...AIR TIGHT
CONTAINERS TO STORE A SUFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
THE WATER SUPPLY WILL POSSIBLY BE INTERRUPTED OR CONTAMINATED.
OBTAIN MATERIALS FOR PROTECTING GLASS OPENINGS. HAVE SHUTTERS OR
LUMBER FOR PROTECTING LARGE WINDOWS AND DOORS. USE MASKING TAPE ON
SMALL WINDOWS. PUTTING TAPE ON GLASS WINDOWS OR DOORS WILL NOT
PREVENT FLYING DEBRIS FROM BREAKING THE GLASS...BUT WILL MINIMIZE
THE SPREADING AND SHATTERING OF GLASS IF THE WINDOW DOES BREAK.
HAVE MATERIALS FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS. YOUR INSURANCE POLICY MAY
COVER THE COST OF MATERIALS USED IN TEMPORARY REPAIRS...SO KEEP
ALL RECEIPTS. THESE WILL ALSO BE HELPFUL FOR ANY INCOME TAX
DEDUCTIONS.
FOR THE MARINE COMMUNITY...MOOR YOUR BOAT SECURELY OR MOVE IT TO
SAFE SHELTER.
FINALLY...DONT FORGET TO BRING PETS INDOORS...AND SECURE OUTDOOR
OBJECTS IF NOT BRINGING THEM INDOORS AS WELL.
DISCUSS STORM PREPAREDNESS WITH YOUR FAMILY. SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH
FRIENDS...NEIGHBORS AND RELATIVES. PREPAREDNESS IS A JOB FOR
EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY.
FOR ADDITIONAL HELP OR ASSISTANCE ON STORM PREPAREDNESS...PLEASE
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY OR YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE. IT IS BEST TO FORMULATE YOUR
PREPAREDNESS PLAN WELL IN ADVANCE OF A STORM SYSTEM...DO NOT WAIT
UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

I live in the DC area, and we're most likely going to have power outages, so I advise to prepare for that. We will also get rain and wind.

Wait, damn, is it really that serious? I've never experienced an East Coast storm. Does it really get that bad even in NYC? I think we have candles... and our stove is gas powered... I'm assuming water lines will be fine...
