NYC Flooded With 5 inches of Rain… Why?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2023
- 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. 😂😂😂
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.
Cash is better at non bias reporting than all of the mainstream news stations. Keep it up, Cash!
He didn't say the dreaded double C words once.
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!!
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 NEWS" is way more informative than what's happening on the regular stations, keep up the good work.
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.
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
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.
And they still keep on building especially on green belt land 😡
@@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.
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
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!☮️👏👏👏👏
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 your an Amazing Realtor... but your Reporting Skills are off the chain, the quality of video & coverage are amazing.
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?
Somehow, I really enjoy Cash’s videos like this about everyday life/catastrophes in NYC most, above his apartment tours
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
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.
I wonder when we'll get another basement appartment video after this one ;)
As expensive as it is to live in the city the drain system should be well maintained… absolutely unacceptable!
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.
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.
Excellent analysis Cash...the amount of research you put in to your vlogs is awesome.Keep up the great work.
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!
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.
Prayers for those that were so badly affected by this storm 😢
I💗NY .
These type of your videos are so well done
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.
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?!?
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
Used to be an insurance adjuster...If water gets above the dash...just total it
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.
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.
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
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
Thanks for providing a much more clear view of what happened and why than I've seen anywhere else.
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.
Excellent commentary and education about this flooding!! Awesome job!🤩
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.
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!
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.
I was also impressed that they didn't have to shut down the subway when I saw it on the news!
🇸🇪
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.
Most of NYC has a combined sewage and runoff system. All that water goes through the sewage treatment plants. If any untreated water reaches the bay, the city gets a fine for polluting the bay. So they stop the release of water and let everything flood so they don't get a fine. Unfortunately, more of the ground is paved, there is more construction, and entire communities have been added to these systems WITHOUT an increase in capacity. Example - the Jamaica Wastewater Treatment Plant handles HALF of Queens - thats about 800,000 people over 26,000 acres, yet it only has a capacity of 100MGD. The City has connected entire neighborhoods tens of thousands of homes - to that plant without increasing the capacity of the plant. Naturally when it floods, it floods worse than ever. All that water is funneled to a sewage treatment plant that can't handle the flow so they let the water back up in the sewers and flood the neighborhoods instead.
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
Its pretty simple. Less concrete, less asphalt and more green, parks and gardens for water absorbtion
And what about the sewer system?
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.
Unfortunately those flooded cars may end up being sold to some poor unsuspecting buyer.
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 ! 🌦🌥🌤⛅☀
Break it down for the people, Cash. Your coverage of the storm, it's causes and repercussions, is exceptional. Thank you!
Cash, I like you, I like your channel ❤cause you’re thoughtful, informative and intelligent!!!!
Made me think about you and your family. And of course, all the basement apartments you've shown us and I thought about where all the rats were going?? And no place for the rain to drain to. Stay safe!
Great quality thumbnail photo!
Edit: Oh my, I’m glad Violet and your Family is safe.
Thank You for this Cash. My heart goes out to you all.
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👍😀
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,… .
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.
Some excellent points and questions here Cash. Thanks. Hope your apartment damage gets fixed soon.
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.
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!
Non biased reporting is so refreshing! Thanks, Cash!
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!
It was sad to see everything flooded! The sewer system needs to be taken care of. Great reporting
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
Wishing New York citizens the best in their recovery from the flooding.
Good description and analysis, ty
Flash floods were reported but people chose to ignore it.
I got it on my phone and most people have iPhones 😂
A lot of the flooding could have been prevented if people stopped littering. That litter washes up and gets trapped around the drains preventing water from entering the sewer system. Didn't have much flooding in my neighborhood which is a lot cleaner than Harlem. Subway flooding is a different story.
As well as adding some alternative to on curb garbage. Dutch cities have special high capacity underground garbage receptors that compress the garbage bag before being removed
Here in the Rockaways, we were also hit with severe flooding as well 😢
NYC flooded in 1972 and I hear the Coriolis affect determines the rotation direction of every Hurricane, its the terminology that says the Spin of the earth adds effects to Wind direction, then you add the Sun and Sulpher from Volcanos and things become complex.
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
I've always enjoyed your videos, but the recent one about refugee housing and this video cause me to feel a new respect for you. I don't know how you manage to be so honest and informative without sounding critical. I greatly admire you. Thank you for your thought provoking perspective.
Cash really shines in this type of videos. This is REAL news!
So...what happened to all the basement apartments?? They were under water. Like completely. ...all the storage rooms, laundry rooms...underground parking garages....subways...wow. This probably damaged foundations of buildings. Another blow to the housing crisis.
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
Thanks for break'n it down. Your videos ROCK!
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.
Thank you, Cash, for your excellent reporting. You are on a mission to save your city.
No cities in the U.S.A. were designed correctly. Flooding happens like this everywhere because no one considered the fact that rain and snow need someplace to go when the weather is bad. if we had drainage canals built next to all streets, that would greatly reduce problems like this.
Or if we were to enforce green spaces every few blocks or so. Easier than going into the sewers and overhauling it all for 10x the capacity
Very sad for all affected!
The sewer backed up in my basement. I eventually had to hire a firm to steam clean the floor, walls and ceiling to get rid of the mold. Everything that was in the basement had to be tossed. Good luck NY
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.
Awesome video! Very informative!!!
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.
Highways had bad flooding too. There are not enough sewer drains and there is no grass and soil to absorb that much water.
Your content continues to elevate! I appreciat it!
Im loving all this reporting you’re doing! Keep up this content!
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. 👏
Chicago has a tunnel system that stores the extra rain water until the tunnel gets full we divert into Lake Michigan and that's why Chicago elevates our Transit system
Really enjoying your reporting-style videos lately. There seems to be an abundance of news to report on.
It would be nice if NYC had any hotels or shelters for NYC residents ,just in case :(
They’ve all been given to illegal “immigrants”
“Given” because they remain empty.
Hey, love the channel keep up the great work 🙌🏽
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.
Great video Cash! I would love to see more of those about NYC, the problems etc. Greetings from Bremen, Germany
People, engineers, scientists have been sounding the alarm for years about NYC and other cities not being prepared for major weather events. That was just a slow moving low system, but imagine if a hurricane hit NYC? It's happened in the past, and oceanographers have warned politicians hence the sea walls and other infrastructure. Now they need to improve what's underground to go with what's above it.
A few hurricanes have hit the city and this level of flooding never happened. This just shows a decline in priorities with the current administration that dates back to that idiot DiBlasio being mayor... Maybe Bloomberg too.
There are some places that are still patching up from Sandy 10 years ago.
How can you fix a city built at sea level on a garbage dump. If sea levels are really rising , their efforts are futile.
If you or anybody you know has/had or is now stuck in that water or any kind of flooding water. You need to go get a tetanus shot. I was stuck in flooding water one time and one of the emergency personal that came from the hospital would not let me go anywhere else until I got a tetanus shot. It is important to you.
Watching those flood videos made me immediately think of all the basement apartment videos that you do. At this point, I don't think I'd ever consider renting a basement apartment in NYC.
Cash, keep the great content coming!!
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....
