The flooding from Sandy was due to extreme high tide, not due to rain. Lots of places away from the sea (like Queens) were bad this year but fine in Sandy, while places close to the sea shore (like Staten Island) were devastated with Sandy but no problem this year. So multiple threats which is bad.
