This storm is going to have a significant effect even here in the midwest. The National Weather Service has issued Great Lakes Gale and Storm Warnings. The predicted wave heights on the Lakes are as follows:Superior: Excess of 20 feetHuron: Excess of 20 feetMichigan: 10 to 18 feet by Monday afternoon build to 20 to 33 feet on Tuesdayhttp://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/east-coast-storms-could-lead-to-33foot-waves-on-lake-michigan-6h7csjs-176231341.html
They don't mince words in New Jersey!National Weather Service in New Jersey:"If you are reluctant [to evacuate], think about your loved ones, think about the emergency responders who will be unable to reach you when you make the panicked phone call to be rescued, think about the rescue/recovery teams who will rescue you if you are injured or recover your remains if you do not survive."
I found this on the web: the webcam for the Intrepid:http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/getdoc/c175244a-aeb1-4ee8-9024-9bb15e3dd11f/Live-Webcams.aspxEdited to add: a list of webcams I found on the 'net:http://qz.com/20761/watch-these-webcams-as-hurricane-sandy-hits-the-us-east-coast/Stay safe and fingers crossed for all affected!
Since Enterprise is basically sitting in a glorified tent, what is the plan to keep her protected with Sandy coming in towards NY? Especially with her sitting on a boat which will no doubt be affected by high surge and waves.

Katrina was a much stronger hurricane than Sandy, but am curious as to how the Intrepid will fair, and the aircraft (and spacecraft...Enterprise) will hold up....Sandy currently has 90 MPH winds.Praying for those being affected by Sandy. Be safe.
What about the Enterprise? They're expecting up to possibly 11 foot storm surge, anyone know if any precautions were taken for her on the Intrepid, or do they feel it is unnecessary?
Poor Enterprise! At least she's still covered.
