Corrected entry: Somebody, I think the US president, says that a part of Florida has been flooded but when we get a view from space at the end of the film, Florida is intact.

Correction: Most likely there was some unsubstantiated information where there may have been some flooding in Florida but the waters receded quickly and there wasn't the devastation that occurred further north.

Corrected entry: In the closing scenes we see rescue helicopters, including Chinooks, flying into Manhattan to pick up the survivors. These came from Mexico? That's an epic journey for these helicopters - at less than 200mph - and they'd need refueling several times along the way, which seems equally unlikely given that most of the US is now iced up.
Correction: At the end of the movie when one of the astronauts in the space station comments how clear the air looks and we get a view of the United States, we can see that most of the upper portion of the country is snowed in while the southern part is snow free. The helicopters that were probably used were a UH-60 series Blackhawk helicopter and Ch-47D Chinook that is more durable and able to take on harsh weather conditions. Both have air refueling capabilities and since there are military bases that dot along the southern part of the country, there is a possibility of a KC-130 Hercules or another military refueling plane that could provide them with the fuel they need to get to New York and back.
