At least no tornadoes here

We have scary-high winds this morning; been blowing all night. The windows on the east side are creaking. Forecast gusts up to 50 mph, some powerlines already down in Nassau county; tidal flood warning until 6 tonight.

High tides around 6 o'clock today here; predicted around three feet higher than normal. But not much rain expected out here; it's sticking to the city today.

Wildlife doesn't seem too bothered by the weather. Grackles still hugging the birdfeeder. Seagulls wheeling and yelling. The swans paddling upstream and now sitting on the edge of the creek.

And three young raccoons playing in the street. In broad daylight...
