Conditions are going downhill rapidly here in Brooklyn.

The winds are now blowing over 65 MPH at the moment. The heaviest rain is south of the city in Jersey. Flooding continues in many parts of the city, and the surge is up to 5 feet in some places in the Harbor at the moment. Landfall is coming in a few hours. Good luck to us all. Just found out that a large crane attached to a building at west 57 street is ready to fall off.

3. Just saw a report on MSNBC that the storm is moving onshore faster than originally predicted and

that things could turn really bad very quickly especially in the Jersey shore area.

6. Good luck to you and all in the area

I used to live in NJ, a few miles from the shore and before that in Manhattan. Now I am in downstate IL and all I have to worry about are tornadoes .

Stay safe all!!

8. God be with all of you and the east coast. I am here in TN and its sunny, cool and very

windy. But nothing what you all are experiencing. How is the winds effecting tall buildings?

9. Please

stay safe and try not to stress yourself out. It is the mental anguish that can be the worst. I rode out Floyd at home with my animals and I was pacing the floors, checking for leaks with the flashlight and just keeping busy helped lots. Time to organize the sock drawer and keep your weather radio on. The weird thing here in NC is the wind is now at higher speeds than it was on first pass. We are now getting second pass from the back side in the mountains. I really want this to be over... we are going to be stuck with this a while I think. Now get busy! Trust me it helps!

ConEd has informed him that his power may be going out soon. I believe he lives south of 14th Street.
