There is a nor’easter slamming along the East Coast, and NJ and NYC are flooding, it’s been declared a state of emergency in NJ. Well, we are certainly flooded in Hoboken, it’s midnight and it looks like a dark glittery swamp.

There was a big fire at the lumber yard a few blocks over (which is now under control I think) and cars are stranded on the main flooded streets.

Finally we get to experience Venice!

It is waist deep in some areas. Here is a tiny bit of video so you can see, our entire street is underwater and the rain continues to pour. I don’t know how long it will be before we can safely leave the apartment. I’ll get some more footage in the daylight tomorrow. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled out of Newark and JFK airports. It’s my first flooding, so I am filming everything just in case I get some cool scoop of a sea monster uncoiling down our street.

We are fine (lucky to be at the top of our apartment, hopefully our landlords who live the floor below us and also have the basement are ok) but if you are concerned you can always send us some chocolate.
