Seems there is a fire on Coney Island hospital and #NYFD can't get in due to 4 feet of water.

My girlfriend works in the mortgage industry and she says most of New York City is in Flood Zone X which doesn't require flood insurance. So basically a lot of people who are losing their homes tonight might not have flood insurance

God damn.

Reuters is reporting that nineteen workers were trapped inside a Con Edison power station on the east side of Manhattan by rising floodwaters. The news agency cited a witness but did not say whether the workers were still trapped or if they had managed to get out.

Reuters says that a rescue worker said the station had suffered an explosion inside.

Verified, & worst news I've heard so far: NYU hospital generator failed. Personnel manually evacuating PICU & NICU down 9 flights of stairs.

Well that's just straight shitty planning. I can't even imagine how cheap flood insurance in NYC had to have been prior to this.

Flood Zone X = less than 0.2% chance of a flood annually. Rates very based on a lot of factors and it's probably pretty cheap but honestly, 0.2%? That's a flood every 500 years, my gf said that generally unless the insurance is required (which it isn't in Flood Zone X) then people don't get it. Might be stupid but that's how people think.

[FNH]

Oh fuck, the hospital?

a few of them, NYU generators failed and Coney Island has a fire
