Rains are off and on so far this morning on the West Side of NYC. Water levels are already higher at the morning high tide than they were at the peak of Irene.
Or, if you want to watch the water in motion, a video.
This was all as of around 8am EDT so roughly high tide. I'm planning on going out in an hour or so to get a lower tide view of things.
And for those who don't quite fathom the size of this storm,
this should help.
