Still flooded here in JC, though water level has receded several feet. Another high tide is a few hours away. Will not be as severe as last night, but may be another 12 hours before it clears up. Tried to sleep, but honestly I am afraid to. I got up after an hour and opened a window to look around, smelled smoke. May be some fires in the neighborhood. There is a huge fire right now out in breezy point (i think it is in Queens). Listening to the radio, sounds like its a mess all over. Trees and utility lines down everywhere are making it nearly impossible to travel.
