NYC Flooded With 5 inches of Rain… Why?

- Опубликовано: 30 ноя 2024
- NYC flooded during a non-tropical storm. The official total for rain was 5.85 inches (taken in central park) but how could this be enough to sweep cars down the street and create water vortexes?

The sewer system is not properly maintained. Its clogged with trash and is collapsed in other locations. NYC Sewers are over 100 years ago ... built and forgotten
And also rats and homeless people.
A lot of infrastructure is forgotten until tragedy happens.
True
I see people thinking this is the hand of God ... loll,, repent , etc
The money and resources your tax money goes to illegals. 😂😂😂
Thank you Cash for doing journalism. These are the kinds of reports that we need in media right now.
Nah. They jsut attack Republicans and insult America.
Instead of permitting constant above ground construction, the city should begin updating and upgrading the sewer system. It's so old, and it simply can not handle these crises, let alone the day to day water and sewage issues. Thank you, Cash, for these valuable and informative videos. I'm glad you're okay and Violet too.
By the year 3000 they’ll build another city on top of old Manhattan.
Democrats will never repair New York they have no money or will to do that
With Climate change I believe the projections put that area under water. They may not want to waste the money.
@@ricecakeboii94yeah I wonder what they’ll call it. Maybe new New York City? Nah…
@@Hotdogenthusiast all I’m saying is we should build that now instead. Why replace this sewer system when you know it’s going to break again soon
Cash is better at non bias reporting than all of the mainstream news stations. Keep it up, Cash!
Agreed. Well done Cash
Yes, he chooses his words carefully. He is not winging it and he obviously edits his work carefully instead of posting long winded off the cuff jibber jabber.
@@donniemoder1466 He could start another channel with him doing
" The NY News"!
100% agree!!
Not really, he said recent events filled the shelters. He tiptoed around facts to placate to commies. The shelters are full because illegal immigrants keep flooding them.
"CASH NEWS" is way more informative than what's happening on the regular stations, keep up the good work.
Very interesting Cash, you need to be on TV! Flooding is one reason I would never have a basement apartment. I'm so sorry for people whose homes were filled with sewage!
Maybe if my apt complex was built on top of a huge hill, would I consider a basement or 1st floor apt.
Cash your an Amazing Realtor... but your Reporting Skills are off the chain, the quality of video & coverage are amazing.
Somehow, I really enjoy Cash’s videos like this about everyday life/catastrophes in NYC most, above his apartment tours
We discovered in the UK many years ago that the more concrete you lay the greater the risk of flooding…..nothing cleverer than that….🇬🇧
Also, the sewage system is over a century old without much infrastructural improvements
Yes.Less soil to absorb water.
@@gemini730lory8 correct. Sadly as simple as that….🇬🇧
UK's capital city is way older (remnants from ancient Rome) than NYC, but it seems more attractive & civilized. Yea, the facade of anything may conceal shared types of rot below the surface, but at least the superficial is reassuring.
Yes, London's probably better equipped.... now. It took the Great Stink to get something done about it. Human nature to put off until it can no longer be put off.
Cash-One of the things that amazes me is the lack of and any expansion of city sewer systems. I was in Vegas in 1996 when they were putting in their first sewer system. After all, it’s a desert, who needs a sewer system, right? I was there for a week editing a huge project. It rained cats and dogs. Water was everywhere. The entire city smelled gross. I had just gone through the floods from the mighty Mississippi in 1993 and again in 1994. I did not know my house had a creek running under my back yard. The windows in my basement burst open and water silently filled my basement where two days before I had built shelves around the perimeter of my storage room where I had 5million dollars of production equipment. I walked downstairs to check on my basement. I reached the fourth stair from the bottom and had my hand on the light switch. I turned and hurried up the stairs ( I had no need to be enlightened further 😅) and called the fire department- they drained my basement and found an entire colony of jumping spiders that had been washed into my house with the flood waters. My equipment was fine. So yes, I understand what you all experienced. Water, is the mightiest force on earth. I pray you get your ceiling repaired and I strongly suggest you get an air cleaner as mold is the next culprit that damages the air you breathe.
I am grateful for this episode as we care about you and yours and it’s great to hear you are safe.
NYC is in a state of emergency and needs so much revamping and rebuilding to their infrastructure and that needs to happen now.
Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏
Fantastic reporting regarding who ancient infrastructure can destroy entire communities. The fear and frustrations of either waiting for repaired, trying to find housing, replacing lost items must be overwhelming. You did an incredible job of humanizing this. It truly created mass chaos, from disruptive air travel across the nation to the health dangers of raw sewerage to traumatizing kids who couldn’t get home or found their home I uninhabitable. Great job today, Cash
there were projects to address this in the 70s, porous street surfaces, sidewalks, etc. could be built, they are deemed too expensive though. we can't have nice things because everyone is looking at the bottom line in the USA. We just had similar in downtown Atlanta, the area just west of downtown is flooding just about every year, this year it got in the aquarium and was all over the dorms of one of the HBCUs.
no white people fixing things for you anymore? enjoy the third world
Now, what would be interesting Cash is if you could do a report about the many newly renovated basement apartments that have been featured on your channel and how they fared through this latest storm.
That would be a very interesting video! 👍
I agree!!
Indeed, to see if architects and civil engineers have learned anything or if they are still making the same mistakes.
If you lived in the lowlands on the banks of the river and you were on the basement level, your place flooded for sure
@@felm.974 probably making the same mistakes. If by mistake you mean a fresh coat of paint, new drab carpet and pretending nothing happened.
You were the first person I thought of when I was watching all this happen from three states away. Glad to see you're ok. Some excellent points you've made here. City living may be all the rage now a days...but it comes at a cost. And not just the cost of the residence. Continue what you do in keeping us informed. Love your channel!
Omggggg me too I knew he was going to cover this story!!!
I feel so sorry for people living in garden and basement apartments 😭
This happened in the suburbs as well though. The rainfall was just extreme, but it's something that we're going to have to get used to as we already this year are reaching 1.5 C warming with no sign of stopping any time soon.
Delaware?
Massachusetts?
Infrastructure is a problem nationwide. In Dallas, Texas, we have this kind of thing happen multiple times a year (some years). As you point out, property development is a major culprit. Watching the city resurface streets then cut them to pieces to provide services for new structures within months is frustrating. You are so silly (entertaining) in your rental videos, but you do a good job reporting here. Keep it real -- thank you!
Yep. Construction is endless.
Excellent analysis Cash...the amount of research you put in to your vlogs is awesome.Keep up the great work.
Excellent reporting, Cash. Thx. I was waiting for your commentary, and you did not disappoint. You gave the info not given by regular tv news or at least not in CA. Glad you and your family are ok.
These type of your videos are so well done
Thanks for providing a much more clear view of what happened and why than I've seen anywhere else.
Excellent commentary and education about this flooding!! Awesome job!🤩
I was also impressed that they didn't have to shut down the subway when I saw it on the news!
🇸🇪
Prayers for those that were so badly affected by this storm 😢
I💗NY .
CASH ! You are making some awesome videos on the crazy stuff happening in New York....Best of luck to you and your loved ones as you navigate living and working in New York City. Your videos are super entertaining and very informative ! Thanks ! 🌦🌥🌤⛅☀
FYI, the roadside plants in Gowanus and Park Slope, the one that look like giant weeds by fences and walls etc. Are actually specific species planted to support drainage. They need to do more of that.
And make the sidewalks permeable.
No they don't. All that stuff takes up space we don't have anymore of that. I live in Philly and they're doing that everywhere. Complete waste of taxpayer money
Plants wont save you from god’s wrath
@@ayeitzdj No but the fact that he doesn't exist will.
A ton of tress have been removed the last 30 years. When i was a kid huge trees were everywhere.
As someone from Houston I completely feel for y’all. We don’t have any basements just a downtown tunnel system with businesses and when we get flooded it’s bad. But the difference is we are used to it unlike NY so y’all have no way to know what to do or how to prepare when there is no notice. I’m still shocked your subways continued.
The subways pretty much run 24/7 even on stormy days they still run
From Houston as well. I agree. They aren't used to or developed for that type of rainfall up north. Yet the same could be said about us and the cold. Lil freeze and we are done for
I wonder when we'll get another basement appartment video after this one ;)
THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE!
Not only did NYC experience this issue but so did Chicago not too long ago, and the city of Atlanta, GA. These cities are going to have to address their failing sewer lines....gotta slow down the building of all of these new roads for new subdivisions and shopping centers, and speed up the pumps under the city.
It has happened and will happen again and again.
and send the water where?
They wont too much blacks there and im black they will drown the city
It's not about sending the water into mid air or evaporation. If you understand sewer and city drain systems, you will understand that most of them are clogged with waste, or they have major cracks in the old piping. Which leads to these catastrophes. I lived in Macon GA. during the 1994 floods. I had just relocated from NYC and had never experienced anything as horrible as going with out flushing toilets and running water for almost a month. When you go through that, you become more educated on the causes of floods in urban areas.@@KB-ke3fi
Absolutely...and that's the nerve ending part of it....think about when the snow comes and then the build up of Spring rain, and then the bad precipitation of humidity and down pours again during the end of summer? CATASTROPHE. Hey I relocated out of NYC back in 94 to move down South and moved right into a month long flood drama with no water for a month. I learned really quick on how vulnerable we are to this issue as a booming urban society.@@bcase5328
Cash watch n look forward to your videos every morning. Please please keep. Makin them you always give accurate n true N w humor you You Rock
I was waiting for your take on the NYC floods. It looked horrific on tv. Stay safe and good reporting.
I'd add that if the water starts leaking into the building from the roof, you can have the water going into the electrical systems. After a nor'easter peeled back part of the roof of the condo building I was living in, this was what caused the city to condemn the building until everything was fixed, which took well over a year. I'd add that there were mold remediation issues galore. I had a basement unit, but didn't have the flooding because there was actually only so much rain.
The flooding reminds me of pictures I'd seen of flooding in Norfolk in the '30s and '40s. Back then, it was a common problem. Today it would be harder to imagine.
It amazes me that things functioned as well as they did in this situation.
New York isn’t the only place with sewer issues. I live in California in an older complex and anytime it’s rains even a little the sewers overflow onto our walkways. Apartments are constantly having black water come up in our sinks and bathrooms and the health department and owners refuse to acknowledge it. There’s gross neglect everywhere and the new construction ignoring the underlining issues in the video are the worst culprits. Greed and neglect are the worst things for our society
Well, that's on Newsom, like everything else collapsing in California.
I remember when Chicago had tremendous floods a few decades back. I'm still not sure what caused them but I remember seeing some basements in downtown had 6 feet of water in them.
Hi Cash and to your friends and family in NYC. So sad to see the 5 inch flooding. Hope everyone in NYC is safe. Great tour👍😀
Thank You for this Cash. My heart goes out to you all.
I lost my apartment during the flooding. I'm leaving the city, it's falling apart and it's just not worth these crazy rent prices.
It sad it took that for u to leave but I’m glad ur leaving❤
Cash, mold in the building materials is a huge health hazard. If all those flooded materials are not removed and replaced, mold & hidden mold is guaranteed. This will rob the health of many many people.
Your videos are getting so good.
I'm sorry you got damage and this happened to you. I hope you will be able to recover. Watch for mold. It may be where you can't see it!
In case any outsiders are watching, all subways have been running at full-capacity for about 3 days now, and the city is essentially dry.
Thank you!
Thanks for your reporting on this unbelievable storm. I actually thought of you and your family and am happy you seemed to have weathered it.
Warnings had been issued beginning at 2am. The city and school system knew. That’s extreme mismanagement. On the other hand…NYC area is coastal..so that risk is potentially always there. It is all in the flood plain. Other areas…flood plains are restricted areas. It didn’t help that it was super moon and extremely high tides, plus additional coastal flooding. 1882, Central Park had over 8 inches. That same storm system…put down over 16 inches of rain. Well…no climate change there. In Southern states, people are able to pick up sand bags, so I’m really surprised that these are not readily available. And, since this is in a flood plain, homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover anything. Flood insurance through FEMA is the only real coverage. I know it’s a cost issue, but people want to save money and live in a cheaper basement apartment. It shouldn’t be allowed, for safety reasons. All of these places are now going to have horrible mold growth.
Yup they issued flash flood warnings a day before
Absolutely terrible. Infrastructure has be addressed.infrastructure hasn’t been addressed anywhere across America. We need to make this a priority,we owe it to the next generation.
Great reporting Cash! See that your damage was minimal, but still a pain I'm sure! Thanks to you for me being able to listen to unbiased information! Be safe!
As expensive as it is to live in the city the drain system should be well maintained… absolutely unacceptable!
Cash you are simply awesome! I love your journalism style and have learned so much about new york from you. You are my NYC new anchor!! I'm glad you and your family didn't get affected that much.
Some excellent points and questions here Cash. Thanks. Hope your apartment damage gets fixed soon.
That duct taped barrier is genius. First thing i thought when i heard of those floods were, you'd need to duct tape your door or something.
Cash, I like you, I like your channel ❤cause you’re thoughtful, informative and intelligent!!!!
A water pipe burst under the expressway across from the parking lot of my apartment building. We found out the section of pipe that burst was 150 years old. That is a huge problem in NYC, nothing gets replaced until it breaks because the system is so big and so old.
Cash, with just a corner dropped alittle bit means nothing small. The ceiling is probably holding rest of water in the flooring between floors and can set up black mold that yall can breath in causing alot of health problems even headaches or worser , your lungs. So please have the owner replace ceiling and they can replace the wet stuff before new ceiling.
Cash Jordan, NYC real estate marketer, hits hard on the failings of NYC’s infrastructures. Who knew he was going to be a revolutionary when we started watching his apartment tours?!?
Thanks for break'n it down. Your videos ROCK!
Im loving all this reporting you’re doing! Keep up this content!
The wife used to call me paranoid for going out when it was pouring to clear my driveway drains, "just wait until the rain stops." I keep telling her I rather catch a cold than have several feet of water in the basement.
Know a couple friends who had their basement flooded in Brooklyn and that was definitely not fun. Had a coworker in another state have her basement flooded, and it never happened in over 30 years according to her. Guess it's a sign of the times.
Also, saw a collapsed roof when driving around, yikes. Small medical office.
How unappreciative of your wife, damn.
I live in NYC and what I have read is the sewers are designed to handle a certain flow rate. People have to understand these were flash floods as 8 inches of rain came. Concrete and tar does not absorb water.
Break it down for the people, Cash. Your coverage of the storm, it's causes and repercussions, is exceptional. Thank you!
Cash ,I just love your videos 🥰thank you
Used to be an insurance adjuster...If water gets above the dash...just total it
Cash.... I really love these videos ....great reporting 👏 👍
Whatever happened to City Planners?
Developers are not going to stop building in Manhattan Greed is shortsighted
You're an excellent investigative reporter Cash. Heads and shoulders above MSM. Thanks
Non biased reporting is so refreshing! Thanks, Cash!
to think millions of years ago, nyc was nothing but a rainforest so people shouldn't be surprised the way the city got flooded with rain
Actually it was a garbage dump.
Really enjoying your reporting-style videos lately. There seems to be an abundance of news to report on.
Its pretty simple. Less concrete, less asphalt and more green, parks and gardens for water absorbtion
And what about the sewer system?
Thank you, Cash, for your excellent reporting. You are on a mission to save your city.
Love your content, very entertaining and informative.
Helps reinforce why I left city life years ago and live up on my mountain top safe from rising water.
Just snow to bury your house.
You are the smartest person in this comment section. 👏
!m drooling over ur videos keep it going broslavsky👍
Hello Cash: I saw on the news about NYC flooding from the rain event. It reminded me of a science fiction trilogy I read a long time ago by the author Kim Stanley Robinson. I believe the first book was named "Forty Signs of Rain". A friend and I were just talking about the trilogy after seeing the news. We live in Alaska where we have our own climate issues but don't make the news except locally. Stay well.
I've been looking forward to hearing your take on this. I wondered about all the people who have those basement apartments, and what they are supposed to do now.
One can only hope they have Renters/Home Owners Insurance, but just like when Auto Insurance rates increased after COVID and everyone began driving again, I imagine those insurers will increase rates to recoup the costs of paid out losses. It's a cynical cycle!
Good description and analysis, ty
Awesome video! Very informative!!!
Nailed it on the head Jordon. Clearly they will be short on capacity once people move into the new building. The city planners need to seriously look into drainage in that area.
Cash Jordan, remember that $10,000 a month basement apartment you featured a couple of weeks ago, you know, the one with the patio and the wash and dryer in the kitchen? Inquiring minds want to know. Was that apartment flooded?
So, what happen in our area is that the redid the road and closed 3 of the grates on one street and two on the other. Now we only have 1 drain on the whole two blocks. All the water has to go one place only.
Glad you are ok Cash! We live in Miami, Florida and we live with this whenever it rains! Some areas people kayak down the street!!!
Seems like Miami after a really hard rain... or Biscaine Blvd after a heavy storm or Miami Bch Collins avenue after some rain or Hialeah after regular afternoon heavy showers...
ok. but it's NOT NORMAL for this geographical area. That's WHY people are talking about it. The way you guys did it, you built on saturated lands and wonder why you live the ways you do. Well, it's because ya'll picked fkd u[p places to settle yourselves, then ya'll believed you could re-construct the LAND to suit your purposes LOL but the LAND was already supporting a PLETHORA OF LIFE. Your species DESTROYED lives, to replace it with your filthy child trafficking satanic structure of economic slavery.
That won't be happening too much longer because the ocean will cover Miami and stay.
Cash, keep the great content coming!!
It was sad to see everything flooded! The sewer system needs to be taken care of. Great reporting
Awesome work you did there, Cash! As someone who doesn't live in the US but plans on moving to NYC, this info is definitely something I should keep in mind before renting, considering all the risks.
Wonder how all those basement apartments that were a bargain for $2000 a roommate in previous videos held up.
Wishing New York citizens the best in their recovery from the flooding.
In Brussel, You can take away pieces of concrete and plant fkowers, plants,… after your plan is aproved. So rain turns into groundwater and you get street full of flowers,plants, bees,… .
Wish you success on the path you have chosen🌹💝
Great quality thumbnail photo!
Edit: Oh my, I’m glad Violet and your Family is safe.
This channel is my favorite dose of internet. Thank you for your great work reporting Cash.
Cash said it clearly...the flooding was only in some small areas of the city. I lived and worked in the city. I traveled from boroughs to boroughs on a daily basis and didn't notice any flood or subway delays. I was shocked to see all these videos on the internet. Most people i spoken to have said the same thing. I'm guessing that most New Yorkers weren't affected by this storm.
My area is prone to flooding so i was expecting it
Cash really shines in this type of videos. This is REAL news!
Got out of NYC with my kids in 2001 and never looked back. Things went from getting incrementally bad to almost apocalyptic within the past few years. If you have a family there, why stay?
Some people are obsessed with this city. It’s overrated.
Great vlog Cash!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, Cash. Without a doubt, the challenges that NY faces due to climate change are not foreign to the rest of the cities around the world, to a lesser or greater extent. The issue lies in the deficient infrastructure combined with excessive urbanization. As you rightly point out, the problem has various causes, and, above all, many stakeholders are involved with diverse interests. But undoubtedly, the authority and capacity to address the situation belong to the city government. See you on the next video!
This also happened in the 1980s.
Alright, when we mention climate change, we are referring more to the intensity and frequency of these phenomena rather than the existence itself. Clearly, there have been floods and other types of natural events throughout history.@@ignacioverboten9382
This happened because of poor city planning and lack of maintenance of the sewer systems. It like most large cities are concrete jungles with no place for the water to go.
It flooded due to THE RAIN.
@@iamtheai2759and guess where rain comes from? Hotter temperatures evaporate more water....
Highways had bad flooding too. There are not enough sewer drains and there is no grass and soil to absorb that much water.
I live in Cebu City, Philippines and we have much worse flooding in a matter of consecutive days. Just three weeks ago, we had flooding in the city from Monday- Thursday and it submerged some major roads, homes and even a mall. The water is so damn dirty it could be a biohazard. It's even just rainfall from thunderstorm. Unfortunately, hardly any update in our sewage system and us locals noticed non-stop construction of new office buildings and high rise condos WITHOUT any regard for drainage construction. Add in the corruption in the government, it is a recipe for disaster.
Now imagine being in Baguio 💀
GLOBAL issue..flooding also leads to migration problems
In a lot of European cities big building projects are less easy to get permits for nowadays and they dedicate more space to new parks and other places without concrete. That rain water will keep coming down, so it needs ways to go away again too. Not wanting to start a climate change discussion here, but some countries like Greece and Italy last month saw rainfall that was 200 (!) times more than usual, losing lives, cars and homes, which certainly is not normal. Like happened in NYC, jetstreams (that are changing because of the melting polar caps) hold weather 'situations' in place a lot longer than usual, meaning either endless rain, or endless sunny and dry days. I think this problem needs to be addressed on various levels.
EXACTLY......it's a global issue which one result is population migration
Life tip. Flood Insurance. Sewer backup insurance. They're not covered by the normal Renter's or Homeowner's insurance. They're completely separate purchases.
Unfortunately those flooded cars may end up being sold to some poor unsuspecting buyer.
Out here in the high deserts of Western Colorado, we have had 4.1 inches of rain this year, a little wetter than normal, not counting the few inches of snow. In 1 day, that storm did almost twice as much rain in an area with no natural drainage.
In Israel they treat sewage with a special bacteria that eats the waste and the end result is pure water you could drink or use to irrigate plants. I believe NYC should adopt this sewage treatment method.
You are the best channel for New York content! Love your videos, greetings from Germany (Düsseldorf).
Flash floods were reported but people chose to ignore it.
I got it on my phone and most people have iPhones 😂
Interesting summary to the NYC flooding. The world came to know and was surprised to hear that from a city with a said and compared great infrastructure.
Like your humble reporting about thst issue, Cash.
Awesome job cash drop like see you tomorrow glad your safe
Love these videos by Cash. You have great reporting skills.
As soon as I saw news about the flooding in NY, in the city, the first things I was thinking about were all of the basement apartments you've shown us. I bet a lot of people lost a lot of their possessions. Not good when things are already so bad for so many people who are just trying to survive month to month.
Here in the Rockaways, we were also hit with severe flooding as well 😢
