Empty water shelves...
Last minute purchases at Shop Rite...
(As of 08/27 3:00pm EST) We assembled a crew here at the Bayonne Hurricane Center this afternoon and we cruised around Bayonne to check out how residents were preparing for this historic storm. The majority of Bayonne seems to be taking the storm lightly, with very little property preparation (in terms of boarding up windows and sandbags), however many of these houses and businesses are NOT in flood areas. Although some in flood zones, such as in Boatworks and 1st Street, have taken precautions, many have NOT, and it remains to be seen if they've done enough.
Residents have pillaged Shop Rite and other supermarkets for groceries, and water especially. We've compiled a small gallery of photos for you to browse through to see how preparations are going:
Beware of Zombies...
"Suck it Irene"
"No wraps fo' you Irene"
Sandbags in a driveway on First Street...
Another one from First Street...
Roadtrip? or Hurricane stock up?
The Tux Shop on Broadway all taped up...
These geese aren't having it...
