Abstract
Urban cities in New York and New Jersey were severely damaged by the storm surge in October 2012 induced by Hurricane Sandy, in which the sea level anomaly reached 4 m. The damages included blackout, inundation of underpass tunnels, subways and underground malls, and complete and partial destructions of port and airport facilities, oil refineries, power plants and houses, oil spill incidents. The large sea level anomaly was probably caused by a long fetch, a large shallow water area and wave breaking.
