Photos: Fleet Ready For Hurricane Sandy

Town of Oyster Bay is gassed up and ready to go if "Frankenstorm" strikes this part of Long Island.

Oyster Bay town officials and workers spent a lot of yesterday getting ready for the potential onslaught of Hurricane Sandy.

The entire fleet of special equipment, including bucket trucks, lifts, wood chippers and a variety of other vehicles are standing at the ready at the town's DWP complex in Syosset.

These photos capture the calm before the storm. They also provide an ominous reminder: The wood pile in some of the attached photos represents some of the remnants of which wreaked havoc on Long Island in 2011.

The definition of STOP in the driving world is " the complete cessation of movement".Read More Sound like many people think STOP signs mean 1. Slow To Observe Police or 2.

Stop means stop. Just like stop signs, where it seems like the local definition is to slow down toRead More 30 mph. You STOP, and look. Then go. I have seen kids having a tough time crossing Jamaica Ave because of this twisted definition of STOP. If anything, this is a good way to relearn what should of been taught in drivers ed. When I moved to Plainview, people at a stop sign would signal the driver that got there first to go. Now it's a race to the stop sign and fly by it to avoid having the other guy go first.
