August 26: Hurricane Coverage, Crime Report

Welcome to “Five Things You Need to Know Today.” Each day, we will spotlight events and happenings in and around the Sayville area that we think you should know about.

We want your help too. If there's an event or announcement you would like to share, please contact us at ryan@patch.com.

1. Stay with Patch all day long as we continue to provide up to the minute coverage of Hurricane Irene and its dangerous approach toward Long Island. 

2. The crime report will post later today.

3. The Battle On The Bay has been called off this weekend with the storm on its way, but head down to Main Street in Sayville at 4 p.m. to see all of the boats on display. 

4. Mark your calendars for the Seafood Festival at the Long Island Maritime Museum tomorrow and Sunday. We will have more details later today.
