As long as the green line stays above 6, there will be flooding in the subways.

Looks like it's poised to go above 7

Reporter saying that South St. Seaport/Pier 19 (I think) has water over topping sea wall. That's near Wall St., right? http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/livenow?id=8857235

It is where Wall Street (east to west oriented) meets the East River. Yes I saw video on our local TV station WABC. It has been breached.

Long Beach, Long Island also breached.

Rising rapidly now, plot has updated again, scale now to 12.



You may get occasional server errors but refresh will usually fix it.

TWC keeps showing a graphic showing water levels leveling off, mostly, at the Battery for now...yet everything you guys post shows it steadily rising?

Don't know about TWC, but here is data from backup sensors at the Battery:



Note, pressure is still dropping as well.

Karen, if you don't mind...could you update that graph like every half hour or so for us to see? the graph I have only goes to 10, yours goes to 12. Very informative and interesting.

This graph udates the scale as needed and is currently at 10.10 ft. http://tidesonline.noaa.gov/plotcomp.sh ... ttery,+NY#

Looks like they've rescaled the axes....

Absolutely brilliant coverage by abc out of NY Some just extraordinary live footage at times. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/livenow?id=8857235

[brunota2003]

Wow...still two hours to high tide at the Battery, yes? (8:53 pm EDT?)

Yes, bru. This is insane. We will have major subway and building flooding downtown.

Sandy hits the Wildwood area

Accuweather.com reports that Hurricane Sandy has made landfall near Sea Isle City. Also, view our Complete Sandy coverage page.

[galaxy401]

According to Fox, it has made landfall.

[HurrMark]

I just don't see how the subway can't flood. That green line has to stay above 6 for the next 2.5 hours. The Weather Channel has been great until today...it has made some gaffes.

[ozonepete]

According to Fox, it has made landfall.

Yes. Now the worst is yet to come for areas north of the center as winds shift to the south and blow the water into NYC and Long Island.

another different look at Sandy:

[Terry]

Wow. Stonington,CT getting slammed. Reporter was live on CNN. Huge, old trees down. Big coastal flooding.

[SunnyThoughts]

Glanced up at the weather channel and holy cow....Reynolds Wolf I think they said it was...somewhere in connecticut...the winds and water was just amazingly scary there. They lost the feed with him now. But wow, by far the worst footage i've seen from anywhere right there where he was.

[Terry]

He's in Stonington, CT. Very seasoned wx reporter and he was having trouble.

Quality will be bad now since it's dark here and I don't know how to set this camera up for night/rain shooting.

Shows how massive the area of high winds is.

Great job, thanks, and stay safe! Still looks good enough to see what's happening.
