I can't "get her" anywhere. No one in that area is going anywhere. She is
in Manhattan, in a place a few blocks beyond where the mayor's evacuation
map shows flooding may occur. Her friend who lives in a floodplain is
taking refuge in her apartment. I'm sure everyone in Manhattan will be
fine, although parts of it have been evacuated.

Poor people living in trailer homes are in danger. People living in
Manhattan apartment buildings are fine.

My father was on Long Island during 1938 storm. Houses and large motorboats
in the Freeport docks disappeared without a trace. He said they did find so
much as stick from them.
