Flash floods in NYC subway as Hurricane Ida kills four & city in emergency

- BIBLICAL downpours and TORNADOES have hit northeastern USA as four are dead and the first ever flood emergency is declared in New York City.
Powerful remnants of Hurricane Ida brought twisters and biblical downpours - leaving subways and roads underwater and buildings destroyed.
Emergency crews were rescuing dozens of stranded motorists and people trapped in a basement were being rescued by divers after a building collapse in Queens.
A 66-year-old Brooklyn man was discovered dead in the basement of his Cypress Hills apartment at around half midnight on Thursday, the New York post reported.
A woman in her 40s was also found dead at about 1am in her apartment on Grand Central Parkway.
A 22-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman were both found dead in the basement of their home on 183rd Street near 90th Avenue in Queens.
Mayor Bill De Blasio and Governor Katie Hochul of New York City declared a state of emergency for the metropolitan area as well as New Jersey after flood warnings were put in place for the first time ever.
All non-essential road travel was banned until 5am Thursday while subway services were crippled as the nine inches deluge of rain swept the city.
Buildings at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, were flooded with 15,000 power outages in New York and more than 81,000 in New Jersey.
One Twitter video showed deluge gushing onto a subway station platform, another showed a train ploughing through huge waterfalls pouring from the platform ceiling and roofs were shown torn from buildings in southern New Jersey.
Tornadoes in New Jersey crashed through buildings destroying at least nine homes and a major highway.
One resident who saw the tornado rip through his neighbor's home said: "I heard the rumble and I seen stuff flying and I told my wife and kids to get in the basement.
"And I looked out the window and I seen their house going. First thing I did was run over to their house to make sure they were alright."
"We’re enduring a historic weather event tonight with record breaking rain across the city, brutal flooding and dangerous conditions on our roads," de Blasio tweeted.
Minutes later he urged: "Please stay off the streets tonight and let our first responders and emergency services get their work done."
New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency after midnight "to help New Yorkers affected by tonight's storm," she announced on Twitter.

#NewYork #Hurricane #Ida
They should have shut the trains down in preparation. We got the alerts as it was flooding. We should have been well ahead of this.
Dear Kenzie McK: This was so bad, and *sudden,* no one was expecting the ravages of a Sandy-type storm in certain areas: Was supposed to be an Ida wind-down.
@@eddyvideostar I know. This is making me more reluctant to take the trains. Most of them were down this morning. 🤦🏿♂️
I am not from the states, so I don't know how you handle such a situation, but I am shocked to see the subway operating with water pouring from the ceiling like it was happening on the sinking submarine ;)
Agree. They should had canceled all travel that had to past New York.
If it were in the south, they would have shut it down, but this was in NYC, nothing like so had happened before. They will next time.
Someone ought to add some soap to that and finally give the place a good cleaning.
Lmao
Looks like something out of a film. Why do people still use the underground during a storm 🤦🏼♀️
It’s like Someone using lifts during fires. People have no common sense
Probably because we don’t ever believe the weatherman! I want a job where I can be wrong 60% of the time! Plus if you ride the subway chances are that’s the only way for some people to get home…
@@juliat178 still abit daft to go underground during a massive storm especially when ur a coastal city not cleaver at all
@@urnansdead672 dude, it’s NY! You obviously know nothing about New Yorkers…
@@juliat178 same in London you go to work or what ever your doing on the train
You go home on the train it’s a no brainier we ent walking 😋
It’s crazy how that bus is still moving with all that water 💦
It’s because the engine is all the way in the back where it’s raised. If it was in the front, it would be dead in the water
It reminded me of the movie "The day after tomorrow", was half expecting to turn into snow afterwards.😂🤣😁
It was crazy last night never seen anything like it in all my years in NY r.i.p to the people who lost their lives
I’m just now seeing all of this! I had no idea it was this bad! I’m in Rockaway and nothing like this happened here at all!
did anyone doubt this can be manmade hurricane?
@@dachosens1 please share your thoughts, I think it is man made
Never knew about this until I saw this
Do you not remember hurricane sandy in 2012🤦♂️
It’s like rewatching the day after tomorrow but without the massive tidal wave
Guy with the umbrella that’s not going to help you my son 😮
On the bright side, after this, it’ll probably be the cleanest NY has been in decades.
No the sewage system will be over run.
All the litter to the ocean, isn't it wonderful?
no it won't more the dirtuest, it will cause alot of places with trash and no where to put it just like 1984 i have a feeling there will be a strike with Sanitation. them the food will be contaminated, then the rats so NO, it won't. more like a scene out of Fort Apache in the Bronx, the wjlr city already look like the Arthur Kills landfill already, this is sad,
Not even remotely funny ... This is a tragedy, leading to 45 + deaths in NY and NJ
The trains run on 1200 Volts DC and people are walking through water. Now that's as dumb as dumb can be.
Trains not only should have been shut down immediately but the third rail power should have been cut off.
Yes they're all wearing rubber clothing good eye.
I wondered why they weren't electrocuted
There’s been too many hurricanes and storms lately. It’s awful!
Read your Bible, Judgement has started!
@@oliviamonteque6407 😆
I wonder why...
@@samiabibi7035 why?
@@R3dD3vil88 It's true
The train shouldn't have stopped there with all that water pouring over it.
Where else could it go? Did you see what happened in China with those people trapped in subway cars? Get those people out of that train asap!
@@explorer47422 i think u dont have reading comprehension
@@mkmllrc I don't think you have comprehension full stop. Also it's 'you' not 'u'.
@@explorer47422 we arent talking formally here, sorry If i made ur feelings hurt
@@mkmllrc I was pointing out the irony of you telling me I don't have "reading comprehension" when you can't spell a three letter word.
God Bless you all, prayers to everyone !
Why are people still travelling when they know that the weather is adverse??
Some people were already on the train before it started and I guess some just wanted to get home.
@childeharold Precisely! Stay put and avoid all the heartache! I don’t even drive/travel in moderate downpours
@childeharold you do realize that 8 million people live in Manhattan alone not including the other 4 Burroughs. People are going to be out, health care workers, people with emergencies, kids still at daycare, any kind of first responder trying to get to and from. Not EVERYONE can stay home.
Exactly....we in the Caribbean go home or stay home if a hurricane is coming
@childeharold sorry yes, that’s correct about the population but we all know those places are a lot busier those times of the day. So I think it’s safe to say majority stayed home. We don’t know everyone’s situations.
Looks like something from the movie Day After Tomorrow
wow just like in china .....dam US and China is like opposite side of same coin ...
Yep true, but China is the worst then America.
The storm hit China produced more than 60 cm of rainfall in 2-3 hr, the 3-inch rainfall in NYC is nothing in comparison; it simply should not have caused so much problems there. As matter of fact, 3-inch rainfall happens all the time in East Asia and SE Asia, it's no big deal.
weather weapon wars ? .. there is such a thing .. this crazy past 18 months opened my eyes i learned crazy quiet weapons global governments are using .
Kawakeb Astra you are 100% right sis.
The way the water flowing up looks so cool
Can we just imagine the panic and fear for those underground ( us not so bad but uk underground are soo deep god forbid)
Rich country but Very old and very poor design of infrastructure.5th world infrastructure.
It's time for all people to help each other, open their hearts and become one family, one humanity. We all have only one enemy - consumerism with its money at the top. We can unite and begin to build a new world for each of us - a Creative Society, at the top of which is human life. And we will be able to survive as a civilization in this difficult period of growing global cataclysms.
I was just thinking about Creative Society project Global Crisis when read your comment, . Still listening conference. The more people unite the better
I totally agree. The world is a greedy and corrupted place where people don't care for one another anymore. Full of consumerism and narcissism.
👏👍
@@Decodedz therefore, we have only one way out, it is to unite and build a creative society
1:20 love the logic of karens "what are they doing?"
don't think they decided to get out for some fresh air and a picnic, do you?
finding anything to make fun of women eh?
Who is Karen?
what were those people walking around the car doing?? and the other drivers chose to drive forward thinking they could get through it, which they could, but it's a questionable move
we sow so we shall reap. Cruel lessons for many with nothing anyone can do about it. Even the all powerful almighty US.
Concrete cities were always going to flood! Hope all animals were safe through this
Clean train ✔️
Lol
Not likely. After the water clogs up cloth seats and everything it’s just going to be a moldy mess. Plus this was water filled with trash and debris from NYC streets so this water your seeing is hardly clean.
After seeing what happened in China , I would stay away from subways
Tf happened in China?
@@citi360 massive floods
All New Yorkers don't have that luxury.
I'm sure somewhere someone is messing with this planet !! 🙄
deep state, Out of shadows
Everyone is messing with this planet, cars with gasoline all over the world, factories working, forests burning, forests being cut down, there is no "someone".
I'm a Train driver in New York, let me tell you today has been a scary day and I've been praying nonstop. Passengers were crying and upset as they were separated from their families, there was also a serious danger of being electrocuted by the lives lines as salted water bridged the gap to the platforms, I actually parked my train up because I heard a weird sound. Thousands of rats swimming around were biting passengers, these rats carry diseases such as herpes and rabbies, some of them have entered peoples luggage and pockets and have now infested their homes too. Currently the whole city is in complete chaos
This is really something to witness I cant believe how calm everyone is...im like wait is that water on the metro (big 👀)????
That’s horrendous
NY needed an enema anyways!
@davidocolman eww
What a terrible thing to write. No time for jokes, God!!!!
@@claudettevargas3049, new yorkers support policies directly responsible for opiate overdoses in Appalachia, I would thank Russia for nuking them.
The Day After Tomorrow!
the movie predicted it.
it says a lot about the resilience of NY citizens that people are still driving on the streets and riding buses to work despite the catastrophic flooding. Anywhere else would be shut down, surely
Is it resilience or a lack of common sense. I will admit NY has never seen this before.
@@yaya3025 Hurricane Sandy?
The city is flooding...I think I would find a different way home instead of going underground to the subway!
Earth is talking, lots of floods around the world this summer.... London got it a month ago
A testament to their tube network, the London tube stops working every time a mouse farts on the track.
Get out of the dam cities people if you can. They are gonna be the first to go!
So sorry ya’ll we’re hit too! Stay strong
Kinda what happens when you PAVE everything!
Well that and that the corridor for hurricanes now seems to hit NYC more often. They’ll have to relocate.
A concrete jungle near sea-level, on flat terrain built atop what was once marshland a few centuries ago too. O.0
While watching the movie "The Flood" a few days ago I was like: "Why are peoples always so naïve in movies". Only to find out it's even worse than that in real life.
So many peoples on video who underestimates floods these days. Seek safety, don't hang around or think you can go through it! Better be prepared and nothing happens than be unprepared and something does happen!
thats what happens when you have a 100 year old system with no upgrades
So where do you suggest that they build an underground system……Einstein ?
@@mikehutchison4892 i never said they need to build an underground system. I said, they need to upgrade and restore the existing one. have you seen how it looks?
LMFAO!! I thought the train will skip the station. But then it stopped. Me: Surely they wont open the doors. Train: *Opens the Doors*
He's coming on the clouds
We are ready 🙏💕
Definitely time to get right with the Lord
0:07 I would not feel safe stepping out of the train. The doors should have stayed closed.
How was everyone in that subway not electrocuted?
It is metal on outside so it probably acts as a faraday cage just like an airplane when struck by lightning
This is like the start of every disaster movie.
New Yorker. Eh it's only a little ran.
Five minutes later. Ruuuuuuuuuuuun
I’m surprised that Red Hook didn’t get any flash floods while this hurricane weather
Why didn’t people stay home? Why weren’t things closed
God bless America and keep it safe
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will heal their land." - God
we have that crazy rain storm lately this year! there's flood like all over it's terrible! I feel bad for those people need to take train or bus to go to work.
OMG......Man the Flood waters and damn Storms kindda makes you feel a little better staying on the Bottom in Florida But prayers for that state!!
Well, atleast the trains are clean
What the hell are all these people doing out. Stay the hell home! It's crazy
Getting back from work.
You can see why is flooding, look at all the garbage that people trow in the ground
This brings the city something fun and extraordinary to see.
live there all my life and never witness floods like that bad
Cleanest the subway will ever be
What an amazing waterfall
It's like that old "Earthquake" ride at Universal Studios that they got rid of.
That’s right where I used to live. Wow!
Praying for everyone that was hit by Ida.
I’ve got to admit I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near a subway third rail when there’s that much water coming in! How does that work? Don’t those 3rd rails carry like 1000 volts?
They ended up shutting off power
God is talking...He is showing us no where is safe right now.
Literally like the movie the day after tomorrow
So sad and unexpected for them
Insane.. 3rd/4th/5th aves in sunset park, park slope bklyn we're rivers for 7/8 block stretches..
What motivates a person to go out of home in THIS weather ?
Just freaking beautiful
We keep forgetting America got Crocs everywhere.. not to mention Sharks
cant imagine what it would feel like to drown while being trapped
Deadly ?
I was at home while all of this happened
Only a little bit of the basement where im at is just flooded
God Bless America
More extreme weather, it’s happening more and more, almost like the climate is changing.
I’m sure nothing will be done about it though.
They are changing it on purpose.
that’s just how the earth works. We’ve been through ice ages and continents breaking apart. The climate is changing. To think that humans are making any sort of impact on that natural cycle is absurd.
@@Littleathquakes There are technologies to change the weather.
@@Littleathquakes it does change yes. It has been greatly accelerated by human development. It’s not absurd at all, there are endless studies, reports, papers etc showing the impact. Denying it at this point is absurd.
I bet its the only time the subway gets a wash
At least the trains are getting cleaned .
That's insane
NYC officers: time to take a bath
Bro they still decided to open the doors bruh 💀
Is it just me or did the NYC Bus is driving itself without a driver controlling it while a Flash flood of Hurricane Ida?
Yooo!! That's the L going towards Canarsie?! So glad I didn't start school til Sep 13!!
When that Universal Studios attraction comes home with you.
Someone should go to jail for the lack of warnings. I knew the floods were coming the day before from the weather channel, they said over 8 inches would fall. The old saying is 2 inches is a flood. Also I live in Australia!!! HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE, ITS THEIR JOB!!!
What happened to the storm drains in EVERY corner?
Creative Society on allatraunites
Haarping their own people
Hilarious
And the usual headlines ,,climate change" ooh you must stop doing this,that and other ,we best close all western industries, stop eating this that and other,and ooh we must stop animal's farting 'breaking wind,etc etc etc,meanwhile let's seed the clouds, and turn the haarp machine on,,
@@terencebarrett2897 interesting. , Isn't it. ?
Don't get into conspiracies or it'll drive you insane.. 😜
@@Decodedz true but truth is still truth
I was going back to Queens when I was in Manhattan and I got home quick enough
Well lets see they can't declare war or bomb a hurricane so I'm sure they will find some country in the middle of nowhere to blame and invade.
When this happened in china they all said it was tears of people but when it happens in the US which is more often its bearly reported and is seen as a traderdy
Yo I live in New York but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna move out
Finally, those dirty R179s get a good cleaning
Thanks God I retire from work, so sad for people who suffren to many problem with this hurricane God bless new York.
Ya well its still summer in New York ! Always fun when it floods in summer here !
There now the cleanest subway trains in NYC
Swimming to your blocks, buses and trains become water vehicles
🐀 “Some of my friends even drowned”
Was that a Tesla? A future city with all electric vehicles doesn't seem like a good combination with flood waters.
Or would it not be problem the way I imagine!!!?
looks to me like 2020 toyota camry
Not again!! This is just awful
Unbelievable
At least the trains are getting washed
