On October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy shook New York City with a 14-foot (4 meters) surge of seawater, killing 147 people and leaving $50 billion in damages in its wake. But that storm may just be a glimpse into a future filled with relentless flooding.
By mid-century, flooding events reminiscent of Sandy could become alarmingly routine. Low-lying areas like Ellis Island risk becoming submerged, and projections show that by 2100, sea levels could dangerously mirror Sandy's catastrophic heights.
