1. Hang tight. Be safe.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. As long as it does not get into the subways

Or that could be really bad news.

Oh and this s why you evacuate when ordered.

So how many times will "the (insert idiot here who did not know better) was found dead" will have to be written?

[Art_from_Ark]

28. Sometimes people just don't have anywhere else to go

or any way to get there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. In NYC that was really not a concern

And soetimes people really believe they know better than emergency responders

Talking as a former emergency responder and currently reporter.

If I got a buck every time I heard the...won't go to shelter, they are dangerous...I could have retired.

[amuse bouche]

32. They are tweeting pictures of water gushing into the subways

Mind-blowing photo. RT @SteveKornacki: Hoboken Path station. Wow "@koxinga21: This is not good: http://bit.ly/UbO9sF "

9. Next high tide is in a little more than an hour

based on the info in your post.

The rising levels atm are continuing to rise and will do so for at least another hour, based on astronomical tides and the storm surge.

eta the levels in your post seem to based on the astronomical tides and don't include the 7+ feet of storm surge.

[slackmaster]

12. You're right. 8:53 PM 4.7 feet.

Thanks.

[Cal Carpenter]

13. That's just the astronomical tides

that would happen today regardless of the storm. The surge is increasing these predictable numbers by 7 or 8 feet. right now and will still effect them in the morning to some extent.

27. Thanks for this. Very useful

[snagglepuss]

8. Why would people who live next to the water not evacuate?

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. For the same reason my back country denizens

Refuse to in the middle of a wild fire...they know better than the EOC people.

[Ghost Dog]

10. Not peaked yet:

[TahitiNut]

24. Looks like it'll peak at 14' ... yikes.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Stay safe! Where are you exactly?

I used to live in the West Village, I am wondering how that area is faring right about now.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Thanks for the update. Just stay safe.

It's not close to over yet.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

16. Be safe my friend! nt

[Cal Carpenter]

17. now at 12.75 feet and still rising

http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/geo.shtml?location=8518750

[Cal Carpenter]

18. 12.93 feet. One more hour to high tide.

Everyone in the path of this storm is in my thoughts.

Here, hundreds of miles away (SE Mich), we are feeling some wind and expecting some snow and rain. But those of you anywhere near the coast and the winds and the power outages - I wish the best for you.

I really hope power gets restored faster than they are predicting in a lot of areas.

[Cal Carpenter]

19. Topped 13 feet. PIC

[hatrack]

20. Jesus Christ

This is going to be one HELL of a mess.

[TBF]

22. Ugh.

I've been very worried about the elderly, homeless, etc ... we are prepared for the storms down here for the most part and it is at least warmer. I heard WV has the winds and blizzard warnings.

[abbyg8r]

21. Local ABC

Local ABC out of NYC is reporting worst case flooding scenario is now happening. Highest surge on record prior to high tide.

[mn9driver]

23. 13.8 feet now. Still climbing, but rate tapering off.

Holy shite. High tide is right now, but the wind is shifting to the east southeast, piling water into the harbor. It's still going up.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. OMG!

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. 30 minutes to peak, and over 13 feet at The Battery

And the Battery tunnel is flooding like a fiend right now.

[James48]

29. 13.87 feet and still rising

God help them all!

[James48]

33. PEAK was at 13.88 feet- now starting to recede.

Reports are that there is three feet of water on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.


They are going to have a MESS in MANHATTAN for a long time!
