Seeing high winds, particularly out in the hamptons on the east end where we ve had reports of flooding, torrential rain continues. out on fire island, we ve had the atlantic ocean hitting those dunes. their holding right now. and we still have an astronomical high tide that we have to go through later today. so this is a storm that s going to be with us for a while but we re prepared for anything. we have crews deployed throughout the county. we have urban search and rescue teams that are deployed and even one that came as far away as buffalo down here, which i think is a good example of how we come together in times of crisis like this. it sure is. let me ask you about evacuation orders, steve. how did that go? to what extent do you think people did take off for higher ground? you know, we issued the voluntary evacuation order yesterday. had a lot of discussion with fire island officials. ....
Companies. i have told them clearly and convincingly, in my opinion, that this is what we pay the power companies to do, to be ready for storms. we have seen this movie before. we do not pay power companies to be ready to prepare powerfor sunny days. we pay them to prepare powerfor when it s hard and recover quickly after a storm. 0ur correspondent, bahman kalbasi, is in new york state on fire island which lies on the atlantic coastline. clearly, this storm surge not entirely here but with our feeling its impact and the weather is obvious is starting to change and this is a barrier island so when it makes landfall and hits here first, not exactly when i m standing, the prediction is about my miles to the east of long island and fire island which is ....
This storm really took us by surprise in many ways. every storm is different. normally when you have a storm like this coming up the coast, a lot of preparation, but it took a turn to the west a couple of days ago and really came on our radar. by the time that happened, it seemed to make sense to do that voluntary evacuation from fire island. we ve been telling people that they could be facing dangerous, difficult circumstances over there. power outages. downed trees. downed powerlines. so for the most part, people did heed that order and people have responded well. there is a cautious sense of optimism that the storm did track east, that it is a tropical storm now. but this is not a time to take it for granted. we are going to be seeing impacts from this probably through the night into tomorrow morning. yeah, and steve, would that include the lirr? the long island railroad which i know canceled some trains. do you know if they are back and ....
