Hope everyone affected is keeping safe and well. We are OK in our neighborhood, aside from flooding about ankle-deep in areas and high wind gusts. Unfortunately, for just about everyone else in NYC south of 39th Street to the Battery there is a complete power outage. Large parts of the Rockaways are under six feet of water -- same for sections of Long Island. Massive flooding into the subway system and tunnels. NYU Medical Center is totally without power due to the failure of a backup generator, and has been evacuated. Bellevue Hospital as of about two hours ago reported its generator had only about one hour's left of fuel and it was running low on oxygen.
