What the preppers are saying about Hurrican Jose

There is a gap between what "official" weather channels are saying and what others are saying.

I shall post Weather Underground seperately. I would say, from recent experience, that nobody really knows for sure but people in potentially-vulnerable areas like NYC should err on the side of caution and be prepared.


Hurricane Jose: 5 Days Until Impact/New York





NYC / NJ & LI Pay VERY Close Attention . . . Hurricane Jose will be NEAR


Persons in New York City, all of New Jersey and all of Long Island, NY should pay EXTREMELY CLOSE ATTENTION to the weather forecasts surrounding Hurricane Jose for the next few days.  
The National Hurricane Center is showing a PROJECTED path of Jose, traveling up along the US east coast early next week, being off the NJ shore on Tuesday.  Here's the thing:  Some of the computer models are showing the hurricane coming directly into land at NYC/NJ/New York Harbor.
As we all know, computer MODELS are just that: models.  They may not be accurate and are often NOT accurate.
But with the damage done to Houston by Hurricane Harvey, and the damage done to Florida by Hurricane Irma, it is prudent to be extremely aware of what this hurricane does over the next few days.
I remind everyone of the models for Hurricane Sandy back in 2012.  Like Jose, they showed a general path out in the Atlantic, right up until the final moments when Sandy took a sharp turn directly into New Jersey.  JOSE CAN DO THE SAME THING.
So it is important that folks in the New York City, New Jersey and Long Island areas make certain their gasoline is topped-off for all cars and trucks, spare gas cans are topped-off for emergency generators to keep refrigerators running and for some lights in the home.  That you have emergency food and water, and propane for your gas grill to cook with if this storm strikes.
Don't be like the people in Houston who waited until ONE DAY before the storm hit, to go shopping.  Within four hours, stores there were SOLD OUT of food and water.
Don't be like the people in Florida who waited til hours before the storm hit, to decide what to do, then found themselves without electric, food or water for the next several DAYS.
Be smart.  Prepare now. 
If the storm remains out at sea, you can still drink the emergency water and eat the emergency food.  But it is better to HAVE IT and not need it, than to NEED IT and not have it.
