High tide starting soon. The surge will be unprecedented in the next few hours. Looks like computer predictions underestimated the surge. Right now CNN is reporting that the the surge is 12.4ft (before high tide) in Long Island, NY. The predictions were 6-11ft with high tide included, with the worst case being 12ft. High tide will add 2 - 3ft on top of that 12ft and the full moon tonight will add an additional 5%! This is unprecedented.

At 12.75 feet, water levels in the Battery, on the southern tip of Manhattan, went at least 2.75 feet higher than the previous record - set in 1960, when Hurricane Donna hit - the National Weather Service reports.
Breaking the record by 2.75ft and high tide has just begun!
