this is the beach, just to our east by a half a block or so. this is what officials, if you take a look outside, this is what they want to see is very little to no traffic at this moment. we have seen a sporadic car or two pass us, and we do know that further down the road, there is a police officer stopping vehicles making sure that they know to get inside and that they re not out here joyriding trying to be a part of this storm. we can tell you that a lot of the businesses along atlantic avenue here have not boarded up and maybe they re taking a chance thinking that if this storm, if the eye of the storm stays to our east, and over the water, that we would have pretty much straightline winds from the north, maybe northeast to the north, and then at some point they will switch around after the eye passes through this area and start coming from the south and southwest. but a lot of businesses have boarded up. we can tell you that a lot of the shelters here filled up pretty quickly. we
we re still paying for it. one of the myths that s been perpetuated is if the insurance companies are some kind of a charity. you guys think i m not you guys. i m alan. you types think that it s a dirty word. but i agree that profit is profit is profit. all right. a lot of people warned about it. here it is. guys, have a fantastic holiday weekend. i can t believe you got one right for a change. caught on camera, driver dashes out of her stalled car moments before an oncoming train slams into it. and the fate of a u.s. marine jailed in mexico lies at the middle of the country s unpredictable system. as we take a look outside, 36 million folks traveling this memorial day. what about you? are you traveling this system? why or why not? tweet me @gretchencarlson.
