Parts of Brooklyn got hosed for sure. I have heard Red Hook mentioned several times...it's on the waterfront. Hoboken in NJ (neighboring my own Jersey City) has made national news. Daily Mail reported 25k people are trapped in their apartments...roads are still flooded and live power lines everywhere prevent them from wading out. Apparently they were calling for people to bring in small boats to rescue...
Staten Island also hard hit. I heard a 120' freighter was lifted up and deposited on a major road. Heard that Metro north railroad, or maybe it was Long Island railroad has 13 miles of missing or damaged track (not contiguous). The destruction is widespread, so the new outlets can't report on everything...
