Why do you think we are called the Heights?

I think another issue besides trees coming down (during Sandy) was the loss of electrical power.

On the bright side Irene & Sandy probably brought down most of the trees weak enough to be a problem.

I've lived further up, Franklin Street and Sherman Avenue, for 6 years - and was here for Hurricane Sandy. The other posters are right - we are high enough up not to worry about street flooding or, as far as I'm aware, water backing up into basements. During Sandy there was some very localized flooding around clogged drains, it was more an issue for pedestrians, nothing one couldn't drive through. Your bigger worries will be trees coming down should we get another bad storm - a number of big, old trees along Ogden and Sherman Avenues toppled, landing on cars, taking down power lines etc.

The only issue is overloaded sewers during really heavy rain. other than that, you are 100 ft above sea level. Short of a giant wave generated by a celestial impact.... I think you are safe.

You're on high ground! There's certain areas up there with sewer issues, but generally you're OK.

There is a flood map of JC that has floated around here in the past, maybe in one of the Sandy posts.
