New York City is a low-lying city on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and has no seawall protecting it. Hurricanes, which bring a storm surge, occasionally travel up the U.S. east coast, sometimes impacting New York.

Yes. Portions of New York City were flooded by the storm surge of Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
Battery Park (on Manhatten Island, New York) reported 13.88 feet of surge.

The average storm surge for Hurricane Katrina was about 22.8 ft. setting a new U.S. record for highest storm surge. The water came crashing through hotels, banks, and even 150 foot skyscrapers which is about 17% of the building! WOW! So, as you can see a storm surge can be a very serious thing!
Hurricane Sandy occurred in New York due to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. In late October 2012, Sandy formed in the Caribbean and gained strength as it moved northward, interacting with a cold front and an upper-level trough. This unique convergence of weather systems caused Sandy to take an unusual left turn towards the U.S. East Coast, making landfall in New Jersey and impacting New York with storm surge, high winds, and heavy rainfall. The geography of New York, particularly its low-lying coastal areas, made it particularly vulnerable to the storm's effects.
No, it is in New York City.

Gilda Storm was born in New York City, in New York, USA.
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
