Thank you guys so much for watching, if you enjoy content like this please consider subscribing and sharing the video so I can continue to produce fully independent documentaries/reporting, just like this.
Also, if the drone video catches your eye, my partner @wxchasing is responsible for those jaw dropping shots. You can see more raw video from this flood on his channel.
He said it’s WINDY too – NO it isn’t ‼️
Yes I love when people push the climate change lie 😂 please😂
Thanks for putting together this day in the life
So kind of you to help others God bless you brother from India
And parts of the country (like Texas) has seen only 1 decent rainfall in 3 months! Dry as a bone down there.
I feel sorry for the basement residents.
That’s awesome you’re helping them.
@V Brown what if the building was on top of a hill?
Sin Diosito no somos nada el Señor es el dueño de este mundo 🙏🙏🙏🙏 tenemos que estar muy unidos a el orar mucho
This happened before a while back and people died in their apartments.
@Jane Doughit wouldn’t be an issue due to elevation, I understand the geology of NYC I suspect uptown may not have the same issues.
I thought this was fake until I googled 😢😢😢
Years ago, I was one of them. I had the coziest apartment with a backyard for 13 years. It got destroyed in a tropical storm. It sucks. Losing so much and just dealing with where you are going to stay as you transition into a new apartment. It took over a month for me to get my life back. I hope all who are going through this a speedy recovery.
I absolutely respect you helping out the people whose cars died, even after being warned by you to not go there.
I’m sure many others would’ve went “Told ya so, tough luck”. You looked past that, which is rare.
i flooded my engine b4 it was a flash flood and the intersection 2 feet under water. luckily bmw sent a tow truck and uber to get me.
Two years ago, 200 people drowned in a flood in Germany because no one felt responsible to warn or even evacuate the population. That is why it is still so important that people help each other and take care of each other. ❤
The government does it. They don’t want people to know about their weather modification.
There was a big flood in Texas years back and people with boats in the area, immediately helped rescuing those stranded.
And after tornadoes devastate neighborhoods, there’s groups of people who had been through tornadoes themselves, who come from other states sometimes to help. Having been through it, they guide others who lost everything. Can’t remember what they call themselves. People will always help those in immediate need.
Sad, that today, in so many cases of disasters, where there’s a financial incentive to not warn and help people by bureaucrats, then they won’t. Even when it’s their job to help.
Dont always get a chance to evacuate,in the s west uk Devon had flash floods within an hour places were under water.
I had a home on Eastern Long Island. Superstorm Sandy left a foot of water in it! My heart goes out to those affected by the rain. ❤
The government did this and that.
Estava aí ,voltei para o Brasil na quinta de noite ,lamentável tudo isso ,passamos 5 dias ótimos aí apesar da chuva .Toda a solidariedade à essas pessoas e a essa bela cidade .
It’s truly remarkable to see these citizens staying patient and friendly while facing this devastating catastrophe!
I have to give you NYers credit: everyone videoed seems to have a good attitude, rolling with the challenges, and helping each other out in the process. God bless you guys, and hope none of you suffered overwhelming damage.
They are seriously some of my favorite people to interview. #1 will always be Cajuns south of I-10 in Louisiana though.
@JonathanPetramala yes I know a ton of people from Louisiana. I honestly felt they were not prepared and obivouous to the true danger they were in. This girl saying she saying she was rushing to get to work is crazy, I’m sorry I’m calling in and not risking my life or vehicle.
it is not caused by the rain, this was deliberate caused by opening the dams around NYC.
We NYers definitely know how to roll w it and help who we can along the way.
It was encouraging to see someone actually clearing the storm drains. Flood water management works wayy better when it’s not clogged with garbage.
Thank you so much for showing this. The kindness and goodwill and sheer determination of the NY people to go about their business as usual is heart warming. I hope there is help for those in the basements to get over this disaster. Maybe a time for those car/boat combinations that never really came to anything when they were invented.
This looks like the movie the day after tomorrow
