However a last minute change in projected track, now points it at the east coast of the United States.

### Prep

On Friday, July 27 all non-essential stores will be closing at 8pm. Big named Grocery and hardware stores (like Walmart, Stop and Shop, and Home Depot) will still be in service until 12pm on Saturday. All Government offices, transportation and other services will be closed Friday night through Monday, depending on damages. The entire state of Connecticut and Rhode Island will be shut down for the storm starting at 5am on Saturday. Nobody is to report to work Saturday or Sunday. Certain businesses like power plants and treatment plants that cant close, will have workers overnighting at the safety of the plant as roads will be closed. Only emergency vehicles will be able to travel on them if even possible. Community shelters will open on Friday at arenas, casinos, malls, and schools across Connecticut and Rhode Island, places that can hold alot of people. Workers have already started taking down street lights, reinforcing wire poles, checking wires, taking down sick or dead trees, and boarding up windows at office buildings. this is expected to continue the next several days. All beaches are closed through next week. The state is doing everythig they can to prepare for a very historic storm. Residents are also starting to board up houses too. Many residents are traveling via train, plane or car out of the state, to seek shelter in other states until the storm passes. An evacuation on all coastal towns will likely become required as it will likely be completely flooded by ocean water. Delcore is expected to make landfall on Saturday as a major hurricane, category 3, with 115-120 mph winds, witch will damage some houses, flip over trailers, destroy mobile homes, down trees, toss traffic lights, and likely damage office buildings. President Trump approved a State of Emergency for the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, which is in effect now.

### NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY

MONTAUK- Entire houses on the beach were fallen and torn up. beaches were eroded away, and water flooded the entire island. every neighborhood was flooded, for a few days,

The Eye passed through Montauk over to East Hampton and Springs, NY, and also included Gardiners Island around 5pm on Saturday July 28. Hurricane Conditions were observed as far west as Eastport, Calverton, and Baiting Hollow on Saturday.

All power is expected to be restored to Tropical Storm recipiants by August 8. Hurricane recipiants may be without power for weeks. Those cities will be under repair as early as July 30. Beach Neighborhoods would have been hit the hardest, as beach homes were swept away by the rip tides and currents, the houses were then torn to bits by the water and wind. All other houses are in tact, and only need some moderate repair, mainly fixed by new roofing, siding, new doors and windows. Most houses in most neighborhoods had tree damage or wire damage, to some degree. Estimated fix time- 1–3 weeks. Tropical storm conditioned arias are already up and running, some last neighborhoods will receive power by the end of the day on August 7.
