The
early effects of Hurricane Sandy are being felt in Long Beach, pelting the
barrier island with high winds and rain as she prepares to make landfall
sometime later Monday. Patch photographer Joley Welkowitz braved the storm
during the 1 p.m. hour today, taking snapshots of the ocean's high and breaking waves, the desolate and boarded-up streets, and flooding at a
beach entrances. Please feel free to add your Long Beach storm photos to
our gallery here.

Bottom line re: LIRR is that people in suburbs who ride LIRR and Metro North are paying to subsidize…Read More the bankrupt NYC Subways and subsidize minority riders in the outer boros. Its the price we pay to not live in NYC. The subways charges a cheap fixed fare to subsidize low income NYC residents. Its a form of socialism.

Jack, racist much? Why don't you go have a tea party with the rest of the little Republican girls?

Great photos, Richard. With joists like those, you could drive a firetruck up that thing!

How about importing some kids from Brooklyn that…Read More need help?

What would be the basis for that demand? The govt only has to turn over exculpatory evidence or…Read More evidence it intends to use against a defendant and as far as I know in a civil matter (especially divorce) the govt is generally not a party to the action so how would they be compelled to do so?

Did Grace Industries have the contract for the firehouse in the west end?

I dont agree with all or even most of Harveys politics but there is NO doubt that he is one the…Read More greatest benefactors to Long Beach in its history.......maybe THE greatest.
When he is gone the Tea Party scumbags that want to kill the sandy Bill in 2014 and also send your flood insurance off the charts will have one less voice speaking out against it.

When Harvey is gone we will have less wasted money from the tax payers. Harvey is our benefactor…Read More using our own tax money you idiots.

You guys still don't get it...yes...Harvey brings back "our" money. But why are he and the…Read More rest of the politicians taking it in the first place? These politicians have you so bamboozled that as they bleed us dry you thank them for the privilege of doing it. All they have to do is say "it's for the children" and you take leave of your brains. Unbelievable...

If one of the 17 was your son you may not be so flippant , you moron.

Who let these people run the shelter. They looked like con artists right from the start.

@BSM if you read the post you would see it tells you to go to a Facebook site called Rescue Ink =…Read More The Facts. On this site there is a copy of Rescue Inks's 2011 tax form which is public information. It shows right on that tax form how they only paid 6% of their income for the animals. Also it is in the contract (also public information) with the City Of Long Beach, that Rescue Ink is just "running" the shelter. The building is owned & maintained by the City which also pays all utilities & vet bills. You should do a little research yourself before you question us. We could never put up these "facts" unless they were true.
