Sayville Fire Department: Stay Inside
Rain may have stopped, but plenty of dangers still outside.
Although the weather conditions may not look ominous and a storm like Hurricane Irene piques curiosity, residents are advised to stay inside.
There are many downed power lines and tree limbs as well as flooding around town. The current wind conditions and the sustained winds overnight make additional falling debris and power lines a serious threat to those venturing out of their homes.
Do not walk through the water in flooded areas, as there may be hidden power lines hiding underneath which could cause electrocution. Chief Pantano asks people to stay away from the bay. That area is extremely dangerous at this time.
