I live on the south shore of Long Island, close to the Great South Bay, and that was one strong storm. Not much rain, just gusts of close to 80 mile an hour winds. Luckily no home or tree damage, but with power out for 24 hrs. Two past storms, I was out for close to two weeks with no electric. Very fortunate this time. Can’t imagine what St Maarten went through with Irma. Winds over twice what I just experienced. And the floods! We heard many stories while staying at the Horny Toad last year. One more incredible than the other. Very strong and brave people for sure.
