Rockaway Update: Did Your Jewelry Enjoy the Swim?

Here's a surreal Friday scene:

Being escorted through the corridors of the Chase building at 4 Metrotech in downtown Brooklyn by a Chase employee you recognize from the Rockaway Beach 116th branch (10ft of water in basement, 7 ft on main level that must have penetrated the vault) where you kept your safe deposit box. You are there to pick up the contents that may or not still exist.

You seem to remember having to reach up for the box so maybe you're OK. Your birth certificate is in there. If it got wet how will you know how old you are?

You are led a long way before coming to a big open room on the lower level with racks of safe deposit boxes
