3 words for you: Super Storm Sandy
I was in the area when the storm surge hit and ran up into Raritan Bay, instead of into New York Harbor. Wiped out hundreds of houses on the flood plains in Sayreville.

The old people kept their houses. The smart people grabbed the cash. The thick headed raised their house level 25 to 30 ft. Had less to do with global warming and more to do with houses being build alongside a river with wide flood plains.

Ok. I don’t remember that (we had our own issues with Sandy in our condo at the Jersey Shore).
