I don't think either of those videos are from America. I think every youtube video involving floor waters is being credited to Hurricane Sandy.Okay here you go enjoy:

Looks like those estimates, if they were even mentioned at the time(which is doubtful), weren't even close.The destruction won't be anywhere near katrina. The reason the guy picked the "perfect storm" as a comparison is because of the relatively low damage associated with it. By saying this is 5x that of the perfect storm gives off the impression that this is some sort of doomsday bullshit that people are feeding into. I mean its not sensational news if they say "this storm could do 1% of the damage katrina did". Its typical misleading jounalism.
A billion dollar damage is very minimal (and those are high extimates).
Early estimates of the economic impact of Hurricane Sandy put the total loss between $30 billion and $50 billion, making it one of the costliest storms in U.S. history.
But forecasters acknowledge that their estimates are highly preliminary and the financial toll could rise as the extent of damage from the historic storm becomes more apparent.
Its worth noting that probably 15-20 billion of that is land and homes owned by super wealthy types on east LI & NJ shores.
That number came straight out of my asshole but I suspect its almost accurate.
This isnt true simply because you could have bought New Orleans 5 or 6 times over if you sold (yes even in this market) some of the beach front properties that got destroyed.
More importantly tho, like I said, above and beyond the properties, the fucking land they were on is gone.
We are talking about serious old world Great Gatsby money.
As far as NYC/BK/Queens goes I think the estimates are overblown tho. The cars are write-offs, yes, but really its not like the fucking MOMA flooded.
Cars?? LOL.This isnt true simply because you could have bought New Orleans 5 or 6 times over if you sold (yes even in this market) some of the beach front properties that got destroyed.

Most of that loss in NYC/BK/Queens/NJ is economic impact.
$10 billion a day, estimating power won't be back on in lower Manhattan until Friday. But I forgot, everyone who lives in Lower Manhattan is "super wealthy" so who cares. We know the financial district is where the ultra rich flock to in Manhattan...right.
But hey, like you said Manhattan floods like this ALL THE TIME! No biggie. Water will recede and it will be all over with, don't know what the big deal is all about. Break out the wet dry vac, clean up the water and get back on with life.

Im not sure if youre genuinely upset or just stupid... Oh wait, youre the guy who thought 42nd street was "downtown".
Please, tell me more about NYC, Im sure your numerous adventures here totally didnt revolve around copping 8-balls of baby laxative off dominicans or anything.
FYI, those of us who live here, and have jobs in Manhattan, and oh btw ARE HERE are already pretty much over it. Most of us are back to work tomorrow, when btw most of the subways are back in service.
Stick to talking about shit you know about, like sucking n-word dicks for pruno in the showers.
I am in great spirits, I am not the dumbass who has been wrong about every single thing he has posted in this thread like your fat ass. Go back to page 1 and see who the stupid one is, not me.

Tell me more about the "ultra wealthy" who reside downtown, in Brooklyn, Hoboken and the surrounding areas please. Are they flocking to Jersey City? Bayonne too these days?
Do you just make shit up as you go along? LIMITED subway service tomorrow you dumb fuck, and LOL at everyone being "over it" right now.
Now you are just trolling, your favorite past time. Back to work as usual tomorrow!! Haha.Cuomo said 14 of 23 subway lines will have limited service, he said there will be no service in Manhattan below 34th Street because there is no power for that service.
The only one who sucks dick is your faggot ass. Go play with your My little Pony's or something you freak.

one of you is mad, one of you is hella trolling from ground zero.
Oh you mad cuz Im styling on you.
Log off until limitles sobers up, that way youll only be the third dumbest punching bag online.
NYC gets its shit pushed in at least once a year, and its not even blizzard season yet. In the summer our power grids fail. For days. In the winter, water mains break and flood city blocks which instantly freeze solid, only to be burried by 2-3 feet of packed ice and snow. For days. Army engineer corps are dealing with the subways right now because this exact scenario has been game planned for something like 20 years, except usually its gameplanned for *sub freezing temperatures*.
You cant even keep your accusations straight. In one breath youre furious because Im claiming the 'super rich' live in downtown Manhattan (honestly do you have the slightest idea what rent is there btw?), in the next youre furious because apparently you think Queens and Brooklyn are huge contributors to this "10 billion dollar a day economy" you dreampt up while faded on dope cut with anthrax and your parents eternal disappointment.
Youre an oaf, dude.
36 hours after the storm:
That's amazing.
That's NYC being prepared for shit like this for decades.
No riots. Not even many tantrums (your posts hilariously excluded).
A lot of good people got fucked, yes. Good people get fucked all the time here. That neighborhood that got firestormed, Breezy Point? Yeah, a fucking jet crashed there a few years ago. Those people out in the Hamptons without power? Guess what, they lose power 2-3 times a year, and often in weather that will kill a motherfucker dead in hours.
The word around the campfire is that this winter is going to be pretty much apocalyptic. Bad flooding? Yeah that shit sucks. 40 people getting killed? Definitely awful. Did you know that 40 people die of exposure in NYC every winter? Im guessing no, because when the rest of us are reading newspapers and working for a living, your education pedigree consists of pretty much this:
So yeah, go ahead and recover, take a few deep breaths, then tell me more about how terrible shit is in NYC and how the sky is falling and 10 billion a day and fox news and obama and blah blah blah, scrub.
LOL.
Someone is tilted LOL. STILL claiming "just another flood", when everyone knows nothing could be further from the truth. I could sit here and go back and forth with you all day fat boy, but I would rather not waste my time.
I actually apartment shopped before in manhattan, so I am well aware of what an apt costs in pretty much every neighborhood. Some of the best deals are in the financial district. I have friends that live in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Guess what dumbfuck, they had to GTFO because their entire neighborhood is under fucking water. No electricity. No services. Ghosttown.
Oh and BTW, the economic impact numbers were from this guy...the Chief economist at Moody's who you know, spends most of his day calculating shit like this.
Not Fox News. Not Obama. Not me.Mark Zandi, of Moodys.com, estimates that two days’ worth of business activity in the region could be lost, valued at around $20 billion. Meanwhile, catastrophe modeling firm AIR Worldwide has put the potential insured losses at $7 to $15 billion. These losses are normally about half of total losses since some are either uninsured
4 hours to get across bridges and tunnels(the ones that don't have 10 feet of water in them, all needing to be pumped out). 80 blocks in the dark. Traffic jams that make Times Square on a Friday night look like a walk in the park. No subway below 34th street (think that might be a problem for those folks "going to work" tomorrow"?? downtown?). Now they are saying they MIGHT have power by the weekend. Maybe.
You are clearly delusional, I'm done with your faggot ass. Go hit the gay bar up and blow off some steam tonight.
"I actually apartment shopped before in manhattan, so I am well aware of what an apt costs in pretty much every neighborhood. Some of the best deals are in the financial district."
Average rent for a 1br in the financial district is $3225 a month.
You're well aware of what again, exactly? Tell me more about what a fantastic deal that is, guy who went to jail for drug dealing.
4 hours to get over a bridge. Thats your metric?
You dumb white n-word.
DHS closes down traffic on the Tappanzee for spot checks during blue skys and mild breezes, thats 4 hours right there.
Youre complaining about how long it takes to get over a bridge or through a tunnel 24 hours after a flood.
You, your "friends", your dealer, and all the other notables in The Life Of Naturalbornhustler are in for some rude surprises if they think any of that shit is extraordinary.
I wish so badly this conversation was about something you understood, so I could just be like "yeah thats a good point, I see what youre trying to say", instead of watching you grab at facts and figures you have absolutely no historic perspective of, like a child reaching at a mobile from his crib.
LoL @ texas...people that live in texas should be seen and not heard. especially the women.I'm sorry but I have to bring this to the front. Forum favourites "lol" Sonatine and Gamblebot downplayed the significance of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy on people living on the East Coast of the U.S........They we're basically scoffing at the safety measures prescribed by many officials. Both were completely wrong. Both have not admitted to such folly.
I don't expect them to own up, but I do expect anyone reading these forums to recognize where the bullshit starts
