During hurricane Ike, I uncloged the drain of my street while every other street filled with water. The neighbors looked at me crazy as I was out there pulling branches from the drain. I was the first to be outside early in the morning and about an hour later, the entire neighborhood was helping me go street to street unclogging drains and reducing waist high flood water. Felt good that day.
Congrats to you, but my question is, why does everybody forget to do this when it is dry out. Post 10 could save himself a lot of trouble, but I guess we would not be as impressed.
@@jrus690 the drains often aren’t clogged when it’s dry out. What tends to happen is heavy rain will wash debris down to the drain eventually clogging it.
I live at the bottom of a hill and everyone blows their grass clippings and leaves out into the street. they all come down to my house and clog the drains right outside my driveway. I go out there every few weeks and clear it out. IDK what they're going to do when we move out in the next year or so lmao.
I love the idea of you just coming out of the woods in a torrential downpour, fixing a flooded street clog, then disappearing back into the woods again. Truly some epic thunder as well; I'm jealous. Thanks for all that you do!
love how he’s saying there’s not lightning…when there’s lightning the entire time he’s standing there by the water while the thunderstorm is super close to him
Just watching this and I’m amazed and a little horrified at the same thing!How is he not seeing it?!! I can see the flash clearly on camera, and some of those strikes are really close, too! Unclogging drains is cool and helpful, but I would not be out there right then with that blitz going on. Better to wait to wait a while for it to pass than risk your life. I had a family member almost killed by lightning, and she was just standing in an open doorway. Standing in water is literally one of the worst things you can do in a thunderstorm. If he truly can’t see when it’s lightning like this, and the thunder isn’t a big clue, he should put a lightning detector app on his phone. Weatherbug has one built into their free weather app and I use it all the time. I’m worried one of his next videos is going to be titled, “Man Killed by Lightning while Unclogging Street Drain”. :( Yikes.
I can only assume that the camera is picking up the lightning That his eyes can't. What's distressing is that, if you count the interval between the lightning and the Thunder, it's less than zero. Meaning the Lightning's right on top of him.
Just a reminder to anyone who sees an opportunity to do this in the future, please be very careful when approaching a drain cover that you cannot see. There have been cases of people attempting to do this and unfortunately drowning because of there not actually being a cover there, or the cover had shifted enough for a gap to form.
Guy in upstate ny got sucked into a pipe pushing someone’s car in the flood. The cover got pushed off. Sucked him right in. Everyone there was in shock. Found his body miles away in the pipe. Truly sad and scary. Got to be smart and safe
@@palmtreecorpse when I was a kid I would go out and play in flooded water after it rained and I think back and I’m stunned at how dangerous that truly was. Very very dangerous. Everyone should teach they’re kids to be safe in flooded water. Kids have no idea the danger.
You can’t total a car by flooding the engine wtf. All water would do is hydro lock it. To fix it would only require boring out and resleeving/honing cylinders, new pistons/rings, rods, crank, bearings, and valves. That together is only a couple grand depending on the car.
@@AJS_Drums usually if you flood the engine the water is probably high enough to fry all the electronics inside the car then it's just not even worth the repair.
@@AJS_Drums "only a couple grand depending on the car". Most cars on the street are worth under 2k lol... aka totaled because its more expensive to repair then the car is worth.
Dude..be very careful with these situations. We had a flood problem in our city. A good Samaritan like you, attempted to help a lady with her car that was parked in the street. The flooding was so bad, it actually lifted a manhole cover completely out. The kid had no clue about this, and ultimately he fell down and died in the sewer system. Just terrible.
My friend got sucked into a drain hole in the 90’s clearing a drain from underneath the interstate (one side to the other). Other than hyper flexed knees, he survived. Not safe at all
8:29. “Well, the flood’s gone. That’s all I came here to do.” True heroes, that never ask for a thank you, speak these words. Post 10 is awesome. Thank you Post 10.

Just a bit of advice for you as a road worker in the UK I found broken drain grate covers so I suggest that you do not stand on them when you cannot see them because you might find that one is cracked or damaged and you will fall through it the same as the rainwater will so be careful never stand on a drain cover you can't see because you don't know what condition is in
10:36 "Today is like a - awesome day. It's, like, 95 degrees, with 70% humidity." On a day like this, many people would stay in their air conditioned houses. You're out in the rain clearing flooded storm drains. I love your positive attitude.

i love the comedic timing when he says "even though youre hearing a lot of thinder, i have not seen any lightning whatsoever" **MASSIVE FUCKING LIGHTNING FLASH**
Be aware that if flooding is heavy enough, back pressure in the pipes can actually lift manhole covers off and send them careening down the street which can break your legs. Be careful!!
@@jonathanpilcher337 this water goes into stormdrains which are a different line than sewage. You might wonder why, but its because most watersystems cannot treat sewage and storm water quick enough, so they chose to not even risk spilling sewage
@@jonathanpilcher337 No they are separate systems but similar in function. Both can have manholes but only a storm drain will have catch basins, which is what the young man in the video is attempting to "unclog". He's making a large number of incorrect assumptions about why they're clogging up and where the pipes are running.
I have NEVER thunder like that before. Sounds really severe. I was concerned about you STANDING IN THE WATER. So often in a short time in between. Surprised that you haven't seen ANY lighting. WOW. Another great video. 👍👍
As a highway safety inspector in the UK, you can imagine I spend a lot of time clearing floods (even though I’m not supposed to). It’s probably the most satisfying part of my varied job 😊
Some tell of a legend, of a man in a raincoat and hazard vest who emerges from the woods to kick some leaves off a drain and then... scurries back into the woods
Someone already said this but that it’s some of the craziest and best sounding thunder I’ve ever heard. I literally feel like I’m there it sounds so good
genuinely worried for this guy, he says he hasn't seen lightning but thunder always comes from lightning and that is not the sound of distant lightning either. that's the kind of crackle you hear when it strikes really close by, so it's either jumping between clouds straight overhead or he's missing the flash somehow.
@@dietotaku yes it is! At some points in the video i even saw the lightning going across the sky from the reflection of the water. And this guy didnt even flinch, camera was steady the whole time
Bram van Z. ?! The first couple were around 600 to 700 meters away. Took roughy 1.75-2 seconds for the thunder. That third one was less than 257 meters.
Yeah it's kind of sad that even the city by me doesn't have workers to unclog clogged drains for flooded streets, everytime my street floods no one cares. I go out there and do the cities job like this guy does
@@mtmcommunity its not so bad honestly, I think this is the type of thing that for the most part people can do on their own, and besides, flash floods are hard for the city to know about or get to quickly unless its on a major road.
@@mtmcommunity although I agree, ideally the city should be able to maintain these drains, there are just so many its unrealistic. All you need is more people like this on your streets and you really wont have to worry about it.
@@Jamie-tx7pn did you even read my comment. I was implying that city workers could have access to the drainage system or have professional equipment to take care of the blockage, instead of the residents
Depends on the problem. If the pipes are already backed up and surcharged, you have to do more than just remove trash and debris. Would require a better drainage system by in depth hydrologic and hydraulic design and analysis.
@@RisingInTheFlesh Sure. But if property owners had helped maintain the system, then we wouldn't be faced with the problem now. Wanna bet who's gonna complain?
@@stevenwilson879 I agree that they have some obligation to clean it but that's what stormwater management easements are for. I think if more people paid attention to their surroundings like post10, we wouldn't have as many maintenance operations.
@@adrielburned6924 Woody Guthrie was a communist and that song is a communist song, it's a direct attack on the concept of private property, just so you're aware.
It always surprises me that more people don't to unclog street drains after a heavy rain. All you have to do is find a sturdy piece of wood and poke a hole in the wet leaves blocking it. Two minutes later the huge puddle is gone.
This man is a genius ! Who in the world would EVER think to film unclogging drains !?!?!?! And yet, I am loving watching this ! Got the market cornered 👍
Yah I've been watching too much found footage horror, I keep expecting jumpscares when watching his videos. Like the ones where he looks way down into dark culverts. I think for April Fools he needs to just do his thing and have creepy shit show up and not pay it any attention lol.
@@sadnessofwildgoats If you watch closely you can see that there's less than two seconds between the flash and the sound. Sound moves at about 1100 feet per second, or a mile in about five seconds. That means that the lightning was less than half a mile away. Also if the sound more like a crackling than a rumble, it means the lightning it really close, and you might be in the danger zone.
I absolutely Love Post 10, I like his voice, what he does, his mannerisms, his drive, purpose, and peaceful honor to our planet and to humanity, such a nice guy. great job man, your golden in so many ways. Keep up the good work. a real no-nonsense approach to every day rain/water/drain issues, I love that you found your element and passion and you do it with pride. keep on keeping on.
What amazes me about this young guy is that why in heck hasn’t the local roads department hasn’t hired him yet, he’s a very conscientious young gentleman. Ps, great job.👍
I started doing this recently around my neighborhood unclogging the drains when I take walks with my dog. We don't get a lot of flooding but I just think it's a good thing to do in general especially on days when there's a lot of rain
Hell yeah I’d do it to if I was you, we need more people out there like post, doing good deeds like this, not getting paid a dime, doing it for pure satisfaction
I pick up trash and clear storm drains too, while out walking my dog. He likes to ‘help’ which usually ends up with him stealing a stick out of the drain, flopping down in the muddy water and chewing it while I get to work.
You can see the reflection of a lightning bolt in the water at 4:52. You're one dedicated man to focus on a clogged drain standing in deep water while there's lightning all around you.
chiknkein nugeget electricity takes the path of least resistance and lightning goes into the sky weather he’s standing in water or not it would probably hit him and not the water and if it did hit the water the electricity would go Straight to the ground and not make the whole water spicy
Good job! So many people would see the problem but they they are "too good" to stop and take care of it. I find it very satisfying to see that water clear. Thank you!
I love how you pronounce certain words like "Dirt", "Leaves" and "Clog" as though they're your mortal enemies who conspired to kill your father when you a child and now you're seeking vengeance on them after completing your training in Rake-Fu. It definitely adds an extra layer of drama and enjoyment to your already interesting and enjoyable videos. EDIT: Also, if you go really slow at the 4:52 mark, you can see a lightning bolt arc right above you reflected in the water.
I noticed your boots filled with water. Have you thought about hip waders or even chest waders? The kind that hunters use? They seem like a great tool to help you with this awesome work!
no and ill tell you why. one fall and your waders fill up to your hips and if you dont have a fast way of dropping them youll quickly fill with water and be pulled down and youll drown.
I KNOW!!!! Grew up in Texas. Moved to Seattle for 3 years. Moved back to Texas, and was thrilled by my first thunderstorm in years. BTW. It always irritated me that the show "Fraser", set in Seattle had thunderstorms. NO THEY DONT. Yes, I have OCD.

@@stevenwilson879 thunderstorms do happen in Seattle, they are just very very rare. And probably not as intense. Showers are common but it’s funny seattle is known for its rain when it usually rains lightly.
Can literally see the lightning reflection in the water. Very dangerous. I am very glad you didn't get hurt. I like watching your videos. Please stay safe!
After watching the video it confirmed my thoughts that i can just do the same and reduce flooding. But the comments made me aware of the dangers of it. Good balance between the comments and video. Thank you all and thank you person who did the video
There are things that you see and never really imagine how important they are! It’s amazing how something so small connects to a whole system and the whole street is cleared! Thankful for this person to take out his time of day to clean this!
This gives me memories of childhood. I never did this exact thing, opening up drains, but I did things that were a little bit like this. My brother and I used to crawl through big metal storm drains, not while they were full of water, but when it was mostly dry. I was mostly scared of spiders. I found out later, as an adult, that toxic gases can build up, if you go really deep inside the drains, depending on how the drain is shaped. Some gases rise upwards, and some gases sink downwards, into high or low parts of the drain. My brother and I also built small dams in creeks, just dams made out of sticks and leaves.
I’ve lived in California for 7 years, but I grew up in Louisiana. Seeing people helping their community is a welcome sight, and hearing those thunderclaps is like mom singing me to sleep
People need to realize the compelling feeling you get from doing a good thing like this. Not only that but it's incredibly fulfilling to know youre making a difference. Cheers to this guy.
Wow , that lightning thunder sound is crazy man. That’s scary , too loud and sounds so unreal. Even I live in tropical area where it rains most of the year where there is lightning and thunder but the level of sound that is heard in your video is on another level.
This guy is a legend. Not sure how I got here, but watching a determined bloke clearing drains is quite compelling...

@@jonathanpilcher337 No they are separate systems but similar in function. Both can have manholes but only a storm drain will have catch basins, which is what the young man in the video is attempting to "unclog". He's making a large number of incorrect assumptions about why they're clogging up and where the pipes are running.
@@Phil451 based on the research I've done sewer and drain are synonyms and storm drains can actually be called storm sewers if you so wish
I feel like post 10 could have an entire meteor crash near him and he would just say “the water has just dropped below the curb”
The nuclear holocaust happens and he is like this water drains into a concrete pipe over there
😂😂😂😂
"I haven't seen any meteors today..."
I have NEVER thunder like that before. Sounds really severe. I was concerned about you STANDING IN THE WATER. So often in a short time in between. Surprised that you haven't seen ANY lighting. WOW. Another great video. 👍👍
Later on, he was safer given the rubber boots, and the low ground.
Still would not recommend it though
@@Flarflenugen His rubber boots were filled with water. He would not have been safe even if they were dry.
As a highway safety inspector in the UK, you can imagine I spend a lot of time clearing floods (even though I’m not supposed to). It’s probably the most satisfying part of my varied job 😊

Roguies's the mn breh
I wonder how many people using this as asmr
I was thinking the same thing I love rain and the thunder 🤗 I makes me happy
genuinely worried for this guy, he says he hasn't seen lightning but thunder always comes from lightning and that is not the sound of distant lightning either. that's the kind of crackle you hear when it strikes really close by, so it's either jumping between clouds straight overhead or he's missing the flash somehow.
@@dietotaku yes it is! At some points in the video i even saw the lightning going across the sky from the reflection of the water. And this guy didnt even flinch, camera was steady the whole time
“Not much lightning”
Tons of flashes just after saying it
‘Ya not much lightning at all lol’
He's literally right under an electrical storm.

You can actually see the lightning reflection in the water at 4:51

Was anyone else amazed how quickly that road actually drained though...
Yeah it's kind of sad that even the city by me doesn't have workers to unclog clogged drains for flooded streets, everytime my street floods no one cares. I go out there and do the cities job like this guy does
@@mtmcommunity its not so bad honestly, I think this is the type of thing that for the most part people can do on their own, and besides, flash floods are hard for the city to know about or get to quickly unless its on a major road.
@@mtmcommunity although I agree, ideally the city should be able to maintain these drains, there are just so many its unrealistic. All you need is more people like this on your streets and you really wont have to worry about it.

Depends on the problem. If the pipes are already backed up and surcharged, you have to do more than just remove trash and debris. Would require a better drainage system by in depth hydrologic and hydraulic design and analysis.
@@RisingInTheFlesh aren't you a wet blanket
@@RisingInTheFlesh Sure. But if property owners had helped maintain the system, then we wouldn't be faced with the problem now.
Wanna bet who's gonna complain?
@@stevenwilson879 I agree that they have some obligation to clean it but that's what stormwater management easements are for.

It always surprises me that more people don't to unclog street drains after a heavy rain. All you have to do is find a sturdy piece of wood and poke a hole in the wet leaves blocking it. Two minutes later the huge puddle is gone.

So true
You're doing a great job, and helping to prevent people's car engines from getting flooded and breaking down. Much kudos to you!
Lightning: Literally feet from killing him
Post: _the water is really going down now_
See when you love the nature.... nature respects you back!!!! Facts 👍
but its miles away. not feet.
Literally feet from killing him? C'mon now
@@sadnessofwildgoats If you watch closely you can see that there's less than two seconds between the flash and the sound. Sound moves at about 1100 feet per second, or a mile in about five seconds. That means that the lightning was less than half a mile away. Also if the sound more like a crackling than a rumble, it means the lightning it really close, and you might be in the danger zone.
@@Aoderic at 4:52 you can see a lightening bolt in the reflection of the water.
This guy is a legend, I thought he was just out there chillin, clearing a drain, but clearly this guy does this all the time

Sucked us right in.
Rarely it happens that someone does something both helpful and entertaining. You do and that's awesome
I started doing this recently around my neighborhood unclogging the drains when I take walks with my dog. We don't get a lot of flooding but I just think it's a good thing to do in general especially on days when there's a lot of rain
Very cool I also pick up trash in parks with a grabber tool long tongs and put in used Walmart bags.
Hell yeah I’d do it to if I was you, we need more people out there like post, doing good deeds like this, not getting paid a dime, doing it for pure satisfaction
I pick up trash and clear storm drains too, while out walking my dog. He likes to ‘help’ which usually ends up with him stealing a stick out of the drain, flopping down in the muddy water and chewing it while I get to work.
Good on you 👏🏻 keep up
@@Catmoore60 Every stick helps!
You can see the reflection of a lightning bolt in the water at 4:52. You're one dedicated man to focus on a clogged drain standing in deep water while there's lightning all around you.
then go under trees in the woods. lol
its not that serious
@@wiifii5.071 still its lighting if the water would get hit it would be the end for him
chiknkein nugeget electricity takes the path of least resistance and lightning goes into the sky weather he’s standing in water or not it would probably hit him and not the water and if it did hit the water the electricity would go Straight to the ground and not make the whole water spicy
glad he wasnt holding his metal rake
Lightning is striking all around and he doesn’t seem to notice.
Lightning has nothing om DrDrain .
@Philip Margate something biblic about him.
Right 😂
Not to mention he’s standing on very wet ground next to a flooded street.

Good job! So many people would see the problem but they they are "too good" to stop and take care of it. I find it very satisfying to see that water clear. Thank you!
I love how you pronounce certain words like "Dirt", "Leaves" and "Clog" as though they're your mortal enemies who conspired to kill your father when you a child and now you're seeking vengeance on them after completing your training in Rake-Fu.

EDIT: Also, if you go really slow at the 4:52 mark, you can see a lightning bolt arc right above you reflected in the water.

I miss actual rain storms. Here in Seattle, that is extremely rare. I come from the east coast where storms happened often. It’s calming to me.
I KNOW!!!!

There are things that you see and never really imagine how important they are! It’s amazing how something so small connects to a whole system and the whole street is cleared! Thankful for this person to take out his time of day to clean this!
This gives me memories of childhood. I never did this exact thing, opening up drains, but I did things that were a little bit like this. My brother and I used to crawl through big metal storm drains, not while they were full of water, but when it was mostly dry. I was mostly scared of spiders. I found out later, as an adult, that toxic gases can build up, if you go really deep inside the drains, depending on how the drain is shaped. Some gases rise upwards, and some gases sink downwards, into high or low parts of the drain. My brother and I also built small dams in creeks, just dams made out of sticks and leaves.
I’ve lived in California for 7 years, but I grew up in Louisiana. Seeing people helping their community is a welcome sight, and hearing those thunderclaps is like mom singing me to sleep
This is music to Louisiana peoples ears lol
So many RUclipsrs are not deserving, but you, my friend are an incredible heart and an incredible soul. God bless you.
People need to realize the compelling feeling you get from doing a good thing like this. Not only that but it's incredibly fulfilling to know youre making a difference. Cheers to this guy.
