Post more pics
Yeah. I was just down there. Cops shoo’d us away. It’s nuts.
Do you know which streets these are?
Yes, which streets are flooded? My car is parked in Greenpoint. I am not a resident but I left it near my art studio. Very dumb move. 🙁

Appreciate your input!
FEMA just updated their Advisory Base Flood elevation maps with new data, so looking through their website is the best source for this information at the moment.
