So, yesterday I wrote a diary about Sandy that many of you were kind enough to recommend. It included a HUGE list of tips, and I hope many of you were able to follow them. Sandy has not only met expectations in terms of it becoming a monster, but it has exceeded them. I plan to put this diary in three parts, just like yesterdays diary. The first part will cover exactly what makes Sandy so bad (and how it has developed since yesterday's diary), the second part will cover what you should expect (now refined because we know much better where it will hit), and the third part will be a revised version of what you should do now.
I want to make this very clear: this is a dangerous, historic, unprecedented storm. This has never happened before. If you are warned by officials to take action, don't delay. If you are warned to evacuate, get out. It may be too late, but my advice is to seek shelter in a place that does not have lots of trees around it, and if you live in New York City... just make sure you are prepared. As a Katrina survivor, things can get very bad in a city that gets shut down by a storm. Please, stock up on as much food, no matter what kind, as possible right now.
