    This NYSE flooding story is weird. Lots of folks citing other folks. Hard to figure out the actual source.

    CNN citing "National WEather Service" National Weather Service citing some "local report"

    Conflicting reports of water on the floor of the NYSE. First report of 3 feet of water on floor may be unconfirmed.

    Hmmm Chad Meyers said he got the NYSE 3' of flood water on the trading floor report from NWS Chat. #oops

    Lots of sketchy/false reports. The NYSE flood report was relayed through the NWS storm report network citing “broadcast media.”

    I am not at the NYSE and have not seen CNN report. All I can tell you is that senior Exchange official denied it to me.

    NYSE denies reports of flooding on trading floor. But it was on twitter so must be flooded right?

    Did CNN really just falsely report the NYSE was flooded? #Sandy

    CNBC reporting no water on NYSE floor but CNN and The Weather Channel saying there is 3ft of water. #WhatIsGoingOn

    Apologies for tweet re NYSE flooding. Report from CNN was false: no NYSE flood. Subway flooding has been confirmed by PATH and MTA. #Sandy

    NYSE spokesperson to @ABC: "It is false. Weather Channel issued a egregiously false report. There is no water in our building." #Sandy

    NYSE's Rich Adamonis tells me reports of trading floor underwater are wrong, "irresponsible reporting by Weather Channel, Cnn" and others.
