I live on Long Island, but, considering that I am pretty far in from water, I am fine ( so far) and still have power. I will admit that that picture of AC looks horrible.
I have been following the path of Sandy on the NY Times site, thanks to their online tracker of the storm. Ironically enough this is something that I did last year with Irene and never expected to have to do it so soon with another storm.
In any case, it shows the path of Sandy as well as a " where it is now" icon. But, one thing that interested me is that it looks as if Sandy is going to hit New Jersey (near Atlantic City, where it has hit) go into Philly and go into NYC towards the north not hitting NYC or Long Island. But, considering that this is two storms in one all bets are off I feel.
