“The real surprise was the size of the surge. No one could calculate that.”

News12 NJ said that 80% of NJ would be without power, a day before the storm hit. They knew (from Irene last year) that this would be worse, since the high tide and storm surge coincided with a full moon.

That’s the worse case scenario. I doubt anyone expected it. Notice that the protections for the subway entrances no way anticipated what happened.
