“I live on one of - if not, the smallest inhabited islands in NYC. We are 1 1/2 miles long by 1/2 mile wide at the widest point, comfortably nestled in the throat of Long Island Sound.”

How high are you above the ocean? The estimates are for 5-9 foot storm surge. If that happens, much of lower Manhattan could get flooded.

Parts of my island will definitely flood. Lower Manhattan, WTC area - will flood.
