it might tell us something about the new normal of climate extremes. you see the dash cam here, nothing major to report in the city. the governor and the mayor are pretty pleased with the response. no drama or major flooding to report. we will see as the rain bands come in this afternoon if that changes. chris, i do want to thank you. you gave me great advice for covering a storm last night. you said bring towels. i already had to use a couple towels when we were out here getting ready to broadcast. thank you for the tropical storm advice. always be prepared, brian. doing a great job. thank you very much. double duty for you today. this has been thankfully very easy for us in east hampton. this is where i live, so it s a great chance to see a lot of people i see all the time coming down and checking out a dramatic surf scene. luckily nobody is taking the foolish chance of going in the water to test it. it s not really organized well
