OP, how are things in Staten Island? I'm in Bensonhurst. Things are pretty bad about 15 min south of me (Coney Is, Sheepshead bay, etc). I work in the financial district. All the buildings were flooded and are closed until they can pump all the water out of the basements where the power and utilities reside. They're telling us at least 2 weeks and up to 2 months before we can go back.
The devistation here is unimaginable. There have already been 33 confirmed deaths and they keep finding more and more dead each day. All of the coastal homes here on S.I are completely gone...
