Hi Ben,

Thanks for the news from back home. Are there any plans yet for a 50 year Sachem reunion?

Thanks

News From Back Home on Long Island

Tornado Hits East Moriches, on June 9, 2008.

Flood in Greenport
*
I often go to the town of Greenport, to enjoy the scenery, visit the local stores, and go "People Watching!" Today Marie and I visited a Candy Store in Greenport, and purchased two pounds of Chocolate Truffles! Were Bad! I just love Chocolate!
*
When the storm hit, I was across the street from Claudios Restaurant, near the water. Minutes earlier the tornado had hit East Moriches! My wife and I took cover in the entrance to a store, under the canape. The first photo was taken minutes after the storm started. (Left click the photo to make it larger)

In the second photo the wind was gusting to about 75 miles per hour. The rain was coming down so hard that the structures behind Claudios disappeared in the downpour! As you can see in the photo, the water is about two inches high on the sidewalk.

We were having a great time enjoying the spectacle! I was really surprised to see that I was not the only person who was taking photos! Today I saw "the best in people," materialize during this adverse situation.
*
People were frolicking in the flooded streets, while others took photographs of them! They were soaking wet, but everyone was having a spirited time! A Stretch Limo Driver was helping stranded people get to their cars. I saw what Long Islanders were made of!
*
After the storm was over I photographed a section of the street, which was representative of the condition, of all of the streets in Greenport; the water covered the sidewalks as well as the road!
