Flooding of JFK and LGA

Pilot and A Half (for now
I just read an article about parts of JFK and LGA starting to flood. Do they have a plan in place to get the water off the runways or will they just have to wait for it to dissipate on it's own?

With any luck they'll stick a fountain in the middle of it and turn it into a migratory bird sanctuary. :D

I think this is the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.

You are correct, sir.

I'm stuck in Houston trying to get home to my family, and from what I hear there will be no flights till possibly Wednesday afternoon.

I know Sandy is no Katrina or Andrew, but she definitely made a name for herself. The preliminary reports ranks her in the top 5 for damage costs.

If I owned a float plane in NY I'd be itching for the gusts to die down so I could go do some water touch and goes at LGA.

Speaking of seaplane and LGA, while I was there for the tennis tournament, some guy landed what looked to be a 170/180 on floats just to the west of the Whitestone bridge, close to where the old Flushing airport was. Really cool to see such a busy airport work VFR traffic like that.
