NYC Underwater: The Day Nature Rewrote the Record Books

September 29th, 2023, will be etched in New York City's history as the day the skies opened with an unparalleled ferocity. The deluge was so intense that JFK Airport recorded its highest 24-hour rainfall since 1948, with an astonishing 8 inches pouring down.
Brooklyn faced nature's fury head-on, as three hours of ceaseless rain equaled an entire month's average downpour. Witness water roaring into basements, stranded vehicles, and impassable roads that brought the Big Apple to a standstill.
This video dives deep into the heart of the devastation, spotlighting the worst affected regions like Brooklyn and Long Island. From shattered rainfall records to streets that became rivers, experience the magnitude of NYC's epic flood crisis.

This is a powerful piece of storytelling - especially given the speed with which you brought it to KZbin. You tell a compelling story and stay out of the way of the camera. This is clearly about the people featured and not so much about you and your reactions. THe scenes of strangers coming together to solve problems in real time with real consequences is good medicine for so many feelings of division and conflict in the majority of media and mindset these days. How they bent their backs and pushed with mighty force to calmly escort the stalled cars to shallower waters was inspiring. Also, your conversation with the woman reaching into the muck with her bare hands to clear the drains and your conversation and suggestion that she take a shower soon was telling. It might be gross to go further into it but I think necessary for people to understand how much waste, sewage and other dangerous things are swirling about at their ankles in these situations. Blessings on you and all New Yorkers.

People should be warned that driving through deep flood water can short out the car's entire electrical system. It's very dangerous at night because you can't tell how deep it is. You won't be able to unlock the doors or roll down any windows and you get trapped. If the car drifts into deeper waters, you will drown. If you ever find yourself in this situation, break the glass of the door with a blunt object - or remove the headrest from your seat. Most importantly, aim at the corners of the glass.

Any car that got stalled is totaled. Maybe not today, but either the engine will throw a rod due to water it took in, or the electronics will start to go wonky. Speaking from experience. Or more likely they'll be sold used and the new owners will be screwed in 1 or 2 years or so when their cars stop working. Great video, much better than local news coverage.
