It'll flood a lot of the subway too...

Flooding the subways is the least of the worries. A good amount of Battery Park City could very easily wash away....and remarkably quickly, I might add.

The NY Times, back in late September, ran an excellent in-depth article on "the bathtub"....it was scarey.

Yeah, I read that article. It would go something like this:

Bathtub wall collapses.
Hudson River comes in.
World Financial Center buildings topple over into resulting lake.

I don't even want to think about it. I feel like I've seen my quota of buildings falling down this year.
