3 Million NYC area without power. But after all this, the damage so far was not as bad as they expected. Thank the A-mighty. Some streets at New York City’s edges are flooding as Hurricane Irene barrels toward the area. City officials say rainfall overnight overwhelmed sewers and sent water streaming into some streets. Seawater from New York Harbor lapped at the edge the sidewalk at Battery Park along the tip of lower Manhattan. Along the coast in the outer boroughs, flooding is worse.
