The flood is really bad. There was a special situation this night of an extra high tide caused by moon and sun plus the water pressed by the storm ashore. We had a similar situation in Hamburg when I was a boy. The excessive rain comes on top and adds it's water too. A very bad situation at the shoreline.
I read in twitter:
Breezy Point, Queens FDNY reporting Well over 60 houses burnt to the ground and still more on fire.
That looks really bad.
I think the good news is the weakening storm. The north east in general should expect a hefty storm with massive rain "only". The storm is not expected to be unusual strong. I hope that does not read cynical to those that suffer from the storm and rain.
I wish you all the best!
