  • 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?

    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!☮️👏👏👏👏

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.

      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

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

    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

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

      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

    • @Elizabeth-rh1hl
      @Elizabeth-rh1hl Год назад +1

      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.

  • @theboredprogrammer1114
    @theboredprogrammer1114 Год назад +9

    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.

  • @ninettemurk7492
    @ninettemurk7492 Год назад +6

    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.

    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.

  • @todberry5068

    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.

    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.
