outages at that point. let's talk about the storm surge. what is storm surge? it's a wall of water. so what happens is this hurricane is going to push that wall of water onto dry land, so it's saltwater being pushed onto dry land and it's a wall, so it's dangerous. we're looking at life-threatening surging, especially in the back bays of long island. be careful along the beaches, even today, new jersey, delaware, up into new york and connecticut, the waves are going to be picking up today as well. flash flooding is going to be a big story over the next several days. again, we are so saturated from fred, we are seeing loose soil already. we're going to add rain on top of that and add hurricane, tropical storm force winds and it will topple trees, bring down power lines. it's august and hot and a lot of us will be without air-conditioning and some could see 10 inches of rain on top of record rain in july. considerable flash flooding, so prepare for that. prepare today. you want to charge cell phones, fill water bottles.
