4 feet surge in NYC and tri-state area at this point. [View all]

Many homes are already flooding. Local TV is showing that we have reached to where Irene flooded to last year. Several blocks away from me the water has gone over the seawall, and onto the Belt Parkway. I am 75 feet above sea level sop I am fine. The rain and wind have calmed down at this point. The surge is really going to be bad tonight. We are expecting 10-12 feet tonight. Good luck to us all.

I grew up in Freeport. That area is very prone to flooding. Out east we're still doing okay. KittyWampus Oct 2012 #1
