The water level in Battery Park was 13 feet at its highest and broke previous record 11 feet at 1821. Manhattan south of 39th street lost power since 9:00pm. This is probably the first time in last 100 years for dwellers living in Manhattan downtown see flood in their homes. Especially for people who lives in ground floor or basements. http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/171528/sandy-strikes-city-with-record-flooding--power-outages http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/171528/sandy-strikes-...
