Release courtesy the American Red Cross on Thursday night. With all eyes watching Hurricane Sandy’s progress toward the east coast of the U.S., the American Red Cross is taking steps to prepare for the storm’s possible impact in Rhode Island. “We are reaching out to volunteers to determine their availability, checking our supplies, verifying potential shelter information and reaching out to local communities to check on their preparations and concerns,” said American Red Cross spokesperson Paul Shipman. “We are preparing now so we can be ready if needed.” Shipman is also reminding the public that now is a good time to begin any preparations at home to help ease the disruption that could be caused by the storm. “Unfortunately, many of us …

To the editor, It took them – the Coastal Resources Management Council and the Town of South Kingstown – almost 40 years to "decide" on how to preserve Matunuck from disaster and oblivion. The resolution was to build a wall and have it built by October. Granted, as of this writing, there are six days left in the month to execute "their" plans, which is more like trying to work a miracle. It appears that the only thing to be "executed” will be Matunuck. Shame on you, Mr. Alfred. Shame on you, present and past members of the South Kingstown Town Council. Shame on you, CRMC. But once again, what do any of you care??? You do 'not' lose your home, your job or your business. You lose "nothing." There is just so much that people can take, …
John LaCroix is critical of the efforts by South Kingstown and the CRMC to protect the coast of Matunuck.
To the editor, After a year of debate, legal action, Coastal Resources Management Council decisions and hope, Matunuck is as she has been for many years – left to the whim of Mother Nature’s wrath. The wall, promised to be built in October, has not been built. The telephone poles still stand where they were in August, and businesses and oceanfront homeowners still can’t protect their property from erosion. I can only say to the Town of South Kingstown and the CRMC, “Good job, Brownie.” The failure to protect Matunuck from this coming large storm is a failure of government at a local and state level.

The exact path remains a mystery, but forecast models indicate Hurricane Sandy won't just swing out to sea as she heads north.

Is your Halloween costume waterproof? "There is a consensus forming in weather forecast models that hurricane Sandy is unlikely to go out to sea," according to The Washington Post. It gets worse. The Washington Post goes on to report that Sandy will more likely merge with a cold front and transition into a "powerhouse, possibly historic" storm that forecasters expect to make landfall anywhere from the Mid-Atlantic states to northern New England or Canada. Chris Lambert on the WHDH weather blog reports that it will still be a few days until forecasters can say where Sandy -- or her "hybrid" remnants -- will make landfall, but the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place that would bring a powerful storm to the the Boston area on Monday …
