Sandy flooded all the way to Main St/East Rockaway Road in Lynbrook & East Rockaway and the streets surrounding Lawson Blvd in Oceanside, Irene was not as bad but many areas were still flooded. I would stay away from anything in areas near a canal or body of water, houses being raised off their foundations are an indicator.
Some places in Bay Park flood during heavy rain, when there is a full moon some streets flood at high tide.
Take a ride around at high tide during the next heavy rainfall, that will give you a good idea

Except in Oceanside where very very few houses raised their homes. For instance Ocean harbor Drive flooded in Irene and Sandy two back to back years and nobody raised their houses. They are big high ranches on cement slabs that are difficult to raise. That block looks great, no sign of Sandy Damage.
South of Weidner, South of Wakuena in a Sandy will flood. A small part will flood in an Irene type storm, entire North side of town never floods.
Remember vast majority of Oceanside was never in a flood zone till 2009. Meaning houses near me that were 50-100 years old Sandy was first time they had water.
Sandy was a once in 712 year storm. Meaning two storms passing at same time, stalled over Oceanside, and was a full moon and a high tide. Statically that is a once in 712 year storm.
My house Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Gloria, Hurricane Irene, zero water. House never had flood insurance. No one on block evacuated in Sandy. It was just a freek thing. It could have been Garden City or Manhasset. It really had nothing to do with flooding. Kinda like NHP got hit with a freak hail storm two years ago that dented all the cars and ruined roofs, and not parking cars in driveway as it might hail again and dent your cars
Sorry Scientific facts are propaganda. I own two homes and are selling neither. If I moved on my primary I would most likely rent it anyhow. So many folks sitting on sidelines willing to pay top rent why sell.

it would appear that you're choosing to ignore certain scientific facts in favor of the ones which support your half baked theories. Good luck with that.

Hurricane Sandy's devastating storm track is a rare one among hurricanes; a new statistical analysis estimates that the track of the storm — which took an unusual left-hand turn in the Atlantic before slamming into the East Coast — has an average probability of happening only once every 700 years.

maybe you should read past the first paragraph:
Quote:
As for how likely another Sandy would be in a world altered by climate change, that question is still up in the air. The consensus from the best global climate models is that the intensity of hurricanes globally will increase in a warmer climate, although fewer storms will occur overall. However, a recent study suggests that both frequency and intensity will increase. Models for individual regions such as the North Atlantic are less reliable, however, making it difficult to forecast changes in hurricane hazards in specific regions of the coast.
whenever you'd like to remove your head from the sand let us know!

Most of the houses being raised are right near the canals but science indicates we can expect more of the same. Many areas are still flooding during northeasters and heave rains. Keep in mind that Sandy wasn't even a hurricane, raising of homes is not a good standard to measure the impact. Some people have no choice but to rebuild but we should be retreating from the waterfront where it makes practical sense not rebuilding.
Staten Island and other places fared much worse, if that happened here we wouldn't be rebuilding. Just a matter of time.
