Practical tips to avoid damage from the storm:

1) High winds will relocate deck and patio furniture, as well as trash cans!  Close and tie shut umbrellas, secure deck furniture , and place cushions inside.

2) Store bikes and beach chairs…and any other possible flying objects.

3) Some streets on the island are slow to drain after heavy rain.  Thankfully, no tidal flooding is expected with this storm.  But as a precaution, vehicles are safer in a driveway or a parking lot rather than at the curb.  Check with a neighbor for their experience on a specific block.
