[Real-time update 12 noon Friday] Home Depot on 23rd street between 5th and 6th avenues is out of all flashlights and at least half of their batteries. (See photo right for flashlight wall at Home Depot at 12 noon. It is unclear if they will get more in before the storm hits).
If anyone knows another place in the neighborhood to get flashlights, write info@MadParkNews.com and I will post it for everyone (Or comment on this post).
Get your water, food, and charge everything just in case. Better to be prepared.
And read our earlier post with key links to resources related to the hurricane (If anyone has other useful links, send them in or comment and I will post them).

Found a small hardware store in the theater district selling mini Maglites for $30, no returns. (Everywhere was sold out of D batteries, which most flashlights need, so a Maglite that takes AAs was the alternative.)
