Wow I Could not believe the damage!! I lived in NY for over 30 years and then left. There were strong hurricanes back in the 50's and 60.s but I don't recall it being this bad, My brother lives on a large boat off of Cross Bay Blvd. I guess by Howard Beach.
I understand his car floated away but his houseboat is ok, except possibly with no electricity. Hope all is well.
