"The city’s basically flooded," Willie Glass said. "Most of the city is under water."

CNN Correspondent Ali Velshi has been broadcasting from the pouring rain and gusting winds all day as the street floods around him just two blocks from the ocean. Give this man a raise!

Hurricane Sandy is about to make landfall, but Glass said that the city is "doing OK so far."

The Jersey Shore is getting battered too, with the water surging over the seawall in Cape May and gushing over the dunes in other seaside communities.
