“The National Weather Service models indicate that Hurricane Sandy continues to threaten Nassau County with a dangerous coastal storm. Accordingly, I am declaring a State of Emergency based on information received and discussions I had with the National Weather Service. Current weather models predict record storm surge will impact Long Island. Accordingly, I am putting all residents that reside in storm surge zones on heightened alert. We are expecting record storm surges – with current models predicting surges greater than Tropical Storm Irene. Experts predict between 4 to 8 feet of storm surge. A High Wind Watch was issued just a short time ago - as high winds will begin late Sunday night into Monday and Tuesday.
