New York Battery sits new record surge height at 12.1 ft (11.2 old record). Surge is in a rapid rise and major flooding is in progress in NYC, flooding of subway is imminent! Surge reaches over 12.0ft at the western end of Long Is Sound.
I bet salt water can play serious hell with all the relays etc down in those tunnels, not to mention the hundreds of miles of wiring for everyone else !
