The city of Hoboken, N.J., once a marshy outcropping that the Lenape inhabited only seasonally, hugs the Hudson River.
Some scientists have forecast that, with rising seas, a big chunk of Hoboken will be Atlantis by 2100.
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy left Hoboken underwater and without electricity for days, causing more than $110 million worth of property damage.
Across the river, the same storm drowned several of New York City’s subway lines and forced Brooklyn residents to wade through thigh-deep water.
Television crews, returning to Hoboken early Saturday to film the usual aftermath, left empty-handed.
