If NYC floods, you might have a problem with critters that normally live in the underground infrastructure. That was a problem in DC during floods. Ick.
Tulip, there is absolutely no point in worrying about what you can't control. The only thing I can control is me and my dog being near a window, and that won't happen.

One of the neighbors I ran into tonight calmed little children on 9/11 by telling them we were practicing for Halloween when we put painter's rags over our faces to breathe.

We will be fine.
