No work today so I didn't really get up to too much. I did watch an abundance of coverage on my new worst friend, Sandy. I did think that at one point I would be doing film reviews!
This was until 7pm tonight! Water started surging over the FDR and towards 1st avenue. I am going to keep updating this post at different time intervals;
19:30 - Water reaches 100th street and 1st and is covering the wheels of cars.
21:00 - Water starts filling the basements of the corner buildings at 100th street between 1st and 2nd avenue. It's up to knee hight.
22:00 - Water reaches the road outside my flat and is going into the basement of the apartment next door. The corner basement's door has been destroyed by the power of the water.
23:00 - The water has started to go back out with the tide. The building next door has lost power but as it stands we are still ok.

| Question: Do the owners of the submerged cars that are in a mandatory evacuation zone get an insurance payout, when they have already been told to leave? I am curious. |
