Hurricane Irene Update
From one of the meteorologists I closely follow, Accuweather's Henry Margusity. This was posted about an hour ago:
The New York City/Long Island area has been way overdue for a major hurricane. They are saying this one may be on the magnitude of the famous 1938 "Long Island Express," which caused a lot of devastation on Long Island. Since that year the population on Long Island has expanded to the millions.
Forest Hills is on high ground and pretty far inland, so we should be able to ride out the hurricane pretty well. I would say if it does go to our West, more over New Jersey or Manhattan, expect mostly damaging winds here and flooding rains. But we would not be impacted by the devastating storm surge like other areas of the City and much of the south and north shores of Long Island.
Track is now worse case for Mid-Atlantic. Damaging winds and flooding from eastern NC to New England including DC to NYC corridor. Very bad.It looks like this will probably be the first of many posts I will be doing about this Hurricane, which could go down as a historical storm for New York City if the forecasts materialize.

Bodies Found in Long Island Dunes Linked to Serial Killer
This is a really chilling story. I remember reading about this for the first time about a month or so ago.
N.Y. / REGION
Bodies Found in L.I. Dunes Identified

A serial killer was probably responsible for the deaths of the three women identified on Monday and a fourth who was identified last week, the Suffolk County police said.
