Good morning on this soggy Monday.

Five years ago, New York City’s deadliest hurricane in modern history barreled through our neighborhoods, flooding houses, lifting cars and shutting down power in some areas.

By the time Hurricane Sandy had passed, it had killed 43 people in New York City (more than half of whom were in Staten Island) and caused $19 billion in damage here.

And it could happen again sooner than you might think.

According to a new study, storms that bring Sandy-like flooding to New York City could happen every five years by 2030.

We asked readers who were directly affected by storm how they would prepare differently for the next Sandy-like hurricane. Here are a few of the responses:

“Evacuate before the storm, bringing both of our cars. Assume the flooding will be worse. Don’t use the floor as a filing system in my home office.”
