I saw this nice and clean map of New York and New Jersey shoreline inundated by Hurricane Sandy - Flooding v. Flood Zones - out of WNYC.
From the site: How Sandy flooded the New York & New Jersey coastlines, compared to storm-surge predictions by hurricane size. Sandy approached as a Category 1.
Mapping options include Actual Flooding and Predicted Surge Zones. The map with the blue regions (above) is zoomed in on Hoboken and Jersey City, New Jersey. All this blue was once swampy and marshy and probably deemed useless by early industrialists so it was filled in to make ports and housing.
The map was created with MapBox and OpenStreetMap. Thanks for the retweet, TheSteve0.
