NYC, you're under water!

this was supposed to be a poll

Hold me, David

This is proof that the people who say NYC will be underwater within 20 years is true. Look how easy it is to flood NYC

This is from fucking rain

*

a fuck ton of rain, and the ground is already saturated

not only is NYC flooded, but it is on FIRE

Ginny at r1, when did you move to Billings, Montana?

What do you expect DL to do? Stitch together our caftans to form a floatation device?

I’m fine! Send my love!

We're having a drought down south. The Mississippi River is do low it's scary!

Won't someone think of the poor rats?

DL Search & Rescue only saves hotties and the well hung!

I was able to take the subway in Manhattan early this afternoon, but crosstown bus service across the park was suspended. I walked and Central park was fine. I feel bad for those who had to commute in from the boroughs today. Everywhere seems open, so those workers are going to have a hellish commute home.

MTA was doing their best with the trains, re-routing lines and trying to get people moving.

Stay safe DLers.

There have been ambulances and cop cars driving by with their sirens on all day today here in Downtown Brooklyn. Idk what’s going on but it’s a mess.

Where's Liza?!

Yeah the problem is a lot of people commuted into work this morning, and they are going to need to get back home to the boroughs from Manhattan.

Usual great planning from the mayor… 👎👎👎

Sierra Towers, r15. Where else would she be?

[quote]Where's Liza?!

California.

Pussies. You call that flooding?

Keep an eye out for Noah.

Thought and prayers to all of the DLers living in their mother's basement.

Chin up, New Yorkers!

September really isn't New York's lucky month, is it?

The Gowanus Canal, a Superfund site and one of the most polluted waterways in the country, overflowed and flooded nearby neighborhoods. As usual.

Yet our wonderful politicians have rezoned it to allow even [italic]more[/italic] unchecked development of high-rises right on its banks. What used to be a neighborhood of scattered two-story row houses and light industry is now a huge residential sprawl.

And still, somehow, they get out-of-town suckers to buy these cheap-shit new cardboard condos.

This'll end well, I'm sure.

NYC has been a disaster for years now but we keep pretending otherwise.

The grounds are also saturated from the 4 days of rains the northeast had from last Friday night through Tuesday evening. Looking at the radar I believe the heaviest part of the rains are past now.

Don't fret, New Yorkers!

Sing along with Shirley!

R27 oh please. We’ve had rain last days upon days in the past and worse than this. Born and raised here. There is no excuse for this.

I'm heading into the city tommorow (Saturday) I hope the Cock didn't flood

R29 "Born and raised here. There is no excuse for this."

I agree, there is no excuse for the rain.

Simmer down, there is plenty of rat and fecal broth for everyone.

the whores in hell's kitchen are all WET

City is back to normal now

[quote]I hope the Cock didn't flood

Oh, so that's what the young uns call it these days.

Say what?

someone left the cake out..

And if a budget deal is not reached, the flood insurance program will expire tomorrow.

The whirlpool footage is a terrible thing to see but funny too as people gawk at this horrible sight

What's with the manhole fires?

No clue. Scary

So, has all of the filth been washed away?

R25 I love the irony of a Whole Foods located on the bank of the Gowanus Canal. Only in Brooklyn.

Is it sewer gas that got compressed and pushed out and ignited?

Palmolive tagline from long ago:

Madge The Manicurist: You're soaking in it!

Apparently depending where you live, the rainfall in NYC from Thursday night to Friday night ranged from 4.5 inches to just over 8 inches. The flooding was mostly during two heavy downpour periods, between 8:00am - 9:30am and then again 12:00- 2:00pm. I had basement flooding in the earlier period when about 2 1/2 inches fell in about the span of an hour. He had a similar situation two years ago with Hurricane Ida.

That’s intense. The reason it is so bad is most of NYC is marshland. Even in the Heights there are covered up streams that inevitably flood when rains are intense like this

Do you feel refreshed now; like the whole city took a bath?

[quote]This is from fucking rain

What did you expect it to flood with?

I guess all the rats have been pushed to high grounds. Now come the roaches

The homeless guy who lives under the Pulaski Bridge between LIC and Greenpoint was gone when I walked by this morning. I hope he’s okay.

This is the first good shower I had in months.

This has happened quite frequently since 1991, but every time it happens the media has amnesia. “How can NY deal with this?” they scream. They just wait until it stops raining, dude.

Eric Adams is a giant twat for not declaring a state of emergency and telling businesses to close.

Which heights? Brooklyn Heights? Washington Heights? Morningside Heights? Crown Heights? Jackson Heights?Hamilton Heights? Hudson Heights? Dyker Heights?

I’m amazed at how many people don’t know rats can swim and are quite good at it.

mouse apparently don't though, many drowned

other news, a sea lion in the zoo escaped and swam free

r55, all of the above, you twat, all of the Burroughs with the exception of the bronx are riven with covered up streams and swamps

Suddenly, I felt the urge to watch The Day After Tomorrow.

New Yorkers finally get some exercise.
