Brooklyn Battery Tunnel is starting to get flooded with seawater. The MTA has confirmed that.

Male caller has just finished describing his motion sickness from his swaying, flooded highrise ... a female caller is now mentioning her own highrise sea sickness...she sees much flooding and mayhem from her 360° panoramic vantage ...

The old record for storm surge at Battery Park has not only been broken! It has been shattered! It has now risen to 13.5 feet.

You needn't worry, only an ongoing wind warning...40MPH gusting to 60, although weather status reporting gusts currently at 40.

Online comprehensive news report this afternoon covered the prospect of subway's rehabilitation from salt-water infiltration ... man! loose objects flying all around here really noisy here in Montreal

Water inundating subway stations. ConEd poised to shut power to more neighborhoods...

Lower Manhattan Loses Power After Possible Con Ed Explosions

Quote:

Large parts of Manhattan below midtown are now in the dark after a reported explosion that may have been at a Con Ed building. "Huge explosion at 14th st. All of downtown is now dark," tweeted Jesse Chan-Norris. Our own Chris Robbins adds that he saw a "massive explosion here in LES then all went dark." Check more tweets below, and we'll update once we learn more.

Update: According to the Journal, Con Ed reports that a substation equipment failure knocked out power for 62,000 customers in Greenwich Village and Lower Manhattan. The utility also briefly lost power at its central command center near Union Square, but reportedly is back up now. Check out the photo below of the explosion that caused the power outage, seen from Williamsburg:
