OTOH we're not all that good at planning in advance these days, so one wonders if there would be enough time once we finally decided to believe the worst really was going to happen. How long would it take to build a giant sea wall around NYC? Relating to Lady Liberty, I wonder if they would move it rather than let it get flooded or build a sea wall around the island. Or maybe build up the platform she's on so she stood above the water....

Regarding the movie, I thought it was cool they still occupied the portions of the buildings above water, something as unlikely as the statue still standing. And I don't think anyone has predicted the water getting that deep either.
