Most of the East coast is a potential target for this storm. News says it could be some of the worst flooding for New Jersey / New York in decades. If you do water damage restoration, I suggest you buy or order your dehumidifiers, air movers, E-TES or whatever else you need today. By the middle of next week they will be in high demand and low supply. Alright lots of equipment headed out the door to the east coast.

Been some amazing waves here in Florida on the Atlantic side.

I remember watching Irene track up the coast last year. Most storms, as they track up the coast, tend to break up upon encountering land, and stray away from open, warm water. Since the Carolinas protrude farther east than New England, a storm has to clear this first as it travels up the coast, usually losing most of it's rotation, so the only way for northern New England to get a direct hit from an storm that has maintained it's organization, is for that particular storm to pass the Carolina's in open water and then take a westerly turn, which RARELY ever happens. Thats exactly what is going to make this storm interesting, as a high pressure system coming down from the north places resistance on any easterly movement, and turns it back into the coast. No one is sure now how defined it will be, but regardless, it is going to be a huge system with ALOT of moisture, and a LONG duration it seems. To boot, we are coming into a full moon on the 31st, which means a lot more water in movement per tidal cycle.
Gonna be interesting.

With all the air movers and dehums; going out on site, where is the power going to come from to power these units??

Apart, naturally, from gen; sets;

Probably be plenty of broken glass inside the properties as well.

Will security be an issue. ?

Shorty.

Here we go.......

This is the rear of my buddies house in the Bronx, facing the Western end of the Long Island Sound. Even at high tide, the water is still several feet off the seawall. These are pics from LOW TIDE this morning, with the brunt of the storm not even close, so this elevation is surge alone.
