Parts of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn are getting hit by storm surge and some low-lying areas are flooded — luckily I don’t live in an area below sea level. The East River is just about at sidewalk level and sloshing over about a block from my place, down a fairly steep hill. The highway along the river is closed of course.
No strong wind nor serious rain as of yet. That comes later around 4-5 pm this afternoon.
