Report of explosions at Con Ed power plant E14th and FDR.



*UPDATE: NWS now says conflicting reports on NYSE flooding reports.*

FDNY requesting all of Brooklyn's power to be shut off.

Numerous maydays being called by the New York City Fire Department on Coney Island. The whole island is reportedly submerged. Battalion 41 says no more FDNY personnel will respond to the island.

... Six-foot BK roadway flooding?

(Bilingual) mayor: ...storm surge "slightly higher" than predicted (approx.) further 2.5 feet's worth merely 'slight'? Official reps' output utterly shameful, what an outrage ...

Rising water, caused by Sandy, rushes into a subterranian parking garage in the Financial District of New York.

Backup power has been lost at New York University hospital and the city is working to move people out - per MSNBC.

BREAKING: Kennedy, Newark, Liberty, and Teterboro airports have been closed due to flooding.

LaGuardia will face worst tidal surge in the morning. Inb4 it too closes...
