Hasta la vista, Joaquin!
Everyone in Red Hook is glad you're heading for the open seas
When you live near water, the happiest words in the universe are, “The hurricane is headed for the open seas.”
Weather forecasters said Monday that dreaded Hurricane Joaquin will be waaay out in the northern Atlantic Ocean, and a mere non-tropical low pressure system, by early Wednesday.
Red Hook is one of those places where Joaquin’s departure from the Eastern Seaboard really matters. The neighborhood was battered and beaten by beastly Superstorm Sandy three years ago. Another killer ‘cane would have been a nightmare.
