Actually it's the west and especially southwest parts of town that flood. Washington Street, the main downtown street that runs up the eastern side of town is a small ridge. Streets go downhill both ways away from Washington, so it stayed dry during the storm.

No, it was the more moderate-income west and southwest parts of town that got flooded the worst. Not that you're happy that anyone got flooded, of course. That would be really dickish.

These are from last winter/spring. There isn't much in the way of external damage anyway. Walking through the post-flood neighborhoods, there were huge piles of ruined furniture, carpet, drywall, etc... but the building structures are fine. Still a huge ordeal for everyone involved, though. The Hoboken PATH station finally just re-opened during the holidays.
