Atlantic City Under Water as Hurricane Sandy Approaches

The worst is yet to come

Rising waters put most of Atlantic City under water Monday as the approach of Hurricane Sandy flooded towns up and down the New Jersey shore, knocked out power to thousands and left some people stranded in water-surrounded homes, forcing rescues. Emergency officials said they expected conditions to get much worse at evening high tide.

"The city's basically flooded," said Willie Glass, the city's public safety director. "Most of the city is under water."
