Tides are already pushing up along the south shore. Water over the docks already and roads. Gonna get worse before it gets better.

Doesn't sound great. One of the main reasons I chose my current Freeport marina was that the dock poles that locate the finger slips were extra tall. After going thru Sandy (and to a lesser extent, Irene the year before), and nearly losing my boat behind my friend's house in Seaford, this was a prime determinant in my slip selection.
 
Taking no chances
Pulled the boat Monday
Its on the trailer in the driveway
Definitely looks like high tides and flooding will be an issue
 
This morning at high tide it was a bit more than a foot below the dock. We've got two days to go. :eek:

I'm going to crank up on the mooring whips and hang my hat on the premise that NE wind doesn't push the boat into the dock.

Good luck fellow nyanglers. Be careful, be safe, stay dry.
 
Buddy of mine had a Subaru WRX. He unknowingly drove into Lindenhurst to drop someone off during a Noreaster with High Tide. Went through a deep enough puddle and she stalled further down the block.
Turns out a computer was on the floor board and shorted out.
In the end, Insurance totaled the car even though it ran because of the saltwater. I talked him out of keeping it.
We nicknamed the car "Scubaru"
