this could be the strongest storm system to slam the tri-state since the pandemic started, and Con Edison says they're prepared. We're expecting that with the rain and the strong winds, that you could have a lot of trees knocking into power lines and causing outages. They've geared up with additional crews and taken extra measures to ensure their safety and to ensure they're abiding by those new social distancing guidelines. We've got 70 extra contractor crews to assist us. They're gonna be set up in hotels, ready to go as soon as all the storms start. We're doing everything that we can to get ready and make sure that we've got enough people out there in the field. Since the pandemic really kicked into gear and social distancing became the norm, our crews have been well trained on CDC guidelines and other measures to try to protect themselves and the public. The National Weather Service has already issued a high wind warning. Gusts could reach up to 65 miles per hour in the city. They could be as

high as 70 miles per hour on Long Island, where Stony Brook University will temporarily close its cove at 19 testing operation, along with a field emergency room that's been set up. The worst of the storm is expected around midday into early Monday afternoon when the wind will be strongest. The most important thing that people can do is to be prepared and be patient. Prepare in any way that you have to. Goodness knows we've all been doing that since the pandemic started with food and other personal needs. Do the same thing with your batteries, your flashlights. Make sure that you're ready in case you do lose power.
