New York City flood: Why Hurricane Ida hit the city so hard
ฝัง

- The remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped record amounts of rain and unleashed deadly flash floods in several Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states on Sept. 1 and 2. The torrent left New York City largely at a standstill, with most subway service limited, delayed or suspended, and a citywide travel advisory in effect.
The remnants of tropical cyclones that travel inland over the central and eastern United States are sometimes marked by deadly “second acts” that can unfold days and hundreds of miles beyond coastal landfall. Despite the lesser rainfall in New York City relative to southeastern Louisiana, where Ida first made landfall, the flooding was arguably worse. This is because the extensive paved surfaces and rooftops generated a tremendous volume of runoff with nowhere to go. Read more: wapo.st/3jEyN5Z.

The night of September 1, 2021 I finished my late shift at Home Depot in Freeport, NY. I knew the remnants of Ida were gonna come through the area but I didn’t realize how strong they would be. When I left at 11:00 PM that night the parking lot was completely flooded and it was absolutely pouring. I ran across the lot to get to my car, my shoes and pants got completely soaked. I had to drive without my shoes on for eight miles until I got home because they were completely waterlogged. I had the windshield wipers going full tilt and I still could barely see the road in front of me. It took me two days to dry out my shoes. I will never forget it.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses and governments faced the need to solve multiple, competing priorities simultaneously. One of the toughest: how to keep an economy going while at the same time shutting it down to protect citizens from infection. As some regions emerge from the worst of the health crisis, it’s tempting to think that there could be a return to focusing on just one main concern. But this week, McKinsey experts examined sectors, particularly defense and national infrastructure, where solving for dual imperatives is more important than ever...

them NYC evolving rats probably made boats
LMAOO
No bc they be swimming in the water so there is literally no way of getting rid of them LMFOAOAOOAAOOAOA someone saw a pile of rats swim past them the other day
@@iiam._.yesline1255 That’s terrifying but makes sense. At least we know that splinter is okay
I found one dead outside submerged in water behind the Garbage bin feel bad for the little fucker lol!
Rats are really good swimmers actually
First time NYC subway ever got a decent clean
Lmao
🤣
You do not know of what you speak. The subway system has been the cleanest it has ever been since the 1990s. No graffiti, etc.. Stop living in the past and making statements about NYC that are no longer true. You probably have never, ever been to NYC.
@@TheVerbalVolley you know what a joke is?
@@YourKingJDG I apologize if I misinterpreted your remarks, but am tired of people saying how dirty NYC is. It is the cleanest it has ever been...there is no graffiti on the subways, and the streets are the cleanest they have ever been. I've been there many times, and frankly, am disgusted that people constantly try to dump on NYC. The people, are actually very friendly. I got lost once, and this couple actually took me on the subway and then walked me to my destination. I will forever remember their kindness.
When you see bright colors on a weather map that means extremely heavy rain
Lol what? No it doesn’t lmao
IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. IT WAS NOT HIGH TIDES.
Maybe they should be more clear with their "flash flood warnings." Might have helped out some people. Just a thought.
Even if the Weather said “Flood” heading towards the Northeast, they would still be like “Ah that’s nothin”!
Seeing as it was their 1st ever flash flood warning I don't think the ppl knew what to do.
@@boogitybear2283 Well done. I agree.
It was clearly documented since it made landfall on the Sunday in New Orleans
Every time it rains we get flash flood warnings so we were expected to be like all the other ones. They definitely need to improve on the flood warnings bc we get hit with things and we dont even know how bad they are bc they sugar coat it so much.
Sending love to NY from the NO... ⚜️🙏🏽🗽
Right back at you guys 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@farrockqns2577 We have really been through it all, haven't we. But we are strong and will rise above this calamity, emerging better than ever... God Bless NO and NYC.
This is horrible. Too many lives taken, homes destroyed, fires in California!!! My prayers go out to everyone, stay safe, stay strong!
Yes I will bless my own city I live in because I live New York but don’t worry my apartment is fine me and my family :)
@@farrockqns2577 thank you. From the coast of Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. I'm one of them that didn't evacuate
Wonder what country will be blamed and or invaded because of this.
Greenland
@@jebronekitty Yea that's a good choice.
The minute he said "this rainfall will only occur once every 200 years", I realized he didn't get the memo on climate change.
He mentioned climate change
Lmao he doesn't believe in it, he about to find out real quick it ain't just some made up thing. Winder is coming and I can already see Texas freezing again with lots of snow which it isn't built to handle since it USED to be a VERY rare thing.
@@Ayveh he mentioned about it and that he believes in it
@@Ayveh climate change has been a thing since the world was created, what are you tryna get at here?

Sending love to NY from the FL !
awe thx! Love to you back!
Same :)
Because it’s mostly streets and buildings. Not dirt and grass and trees-not enough to soak up the water. Is that at least some of the reason? I bet it is.
It is also naturally swamp land. Look at the farms that were there originally, there's a photo of NY before anything was ever built when it was a cow farm. The whole place looks like a low wet island.
Because it is.
For that matter, we like building in the middle of bogs/swamps. Look up the first ever photo of the Lincoln monument. It was placed astrologically. Most of DC was.
Also, the grand central station starry sky in NY is from the perspective of coming from outer space. Not leaving earth. They mimicked what the sumerians did, calling us the 7th planet. Because they count Pluto as 1 or planet 9 that we haven't found yet but is ridiculously massive causing the weirdness to I think Uranus is maybe Saturn. Maybe both... There's inexplicable gravity going on that can be explained by a small black hole or a 9th planet we haven't and can't see until it works its way back to the sun. But if the Indian text is to be believed, it is only visible every 3300 years. Due to the vastness of its orbit path.
That's enough of a Google rabbit hole lol. Happy learning!
He said that in the video
@@aftersexhighfives wow. Interesting.
@@aftersexhighfives wow that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing all that.
Sending love to Louisana from NYC bless the ones who died :(
Thank you. I'm a hurricane Ida survivor from the coast of Louisiana
Everyone expected the first storm to be bad not this random one
Facts!
It was supposed to hit my area in Virginia and it completely missed. Very surprised.
Because Camille was enough for you guys! So glad you all were spared like the Mississippi Coast was with Ida!
Hurricane Sandy skipped Virginia Beach VA too and Hurricane Florence skipped us as well
Way to break it down brother. Good job.
we are not done with covid19 and here comes another problem, in this all uncertainties so many people has been dropped out from work even the country itself will find it difficult to regain their feet as the result of the pandemic locking 😢😢
I think the 2020 pandemic has taught a lot of people the importance of multiple streams of income. Unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security....no rich man or woman made it through salary, investing in crypto now will be wise
Investing for today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised. trading bitcoin, gold&silver, crypto. secure a better tomorrow.
Great context.everyone needs more than there salary to be financially stable.the best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly.because money left for saving always end up used with no returns. I started Investing in bitcoin mid November 2020 with the help of a well-known-proffessional Mr William Noble and the profit entirely funded my recent duplex.
True thought unfortunately,mine always ends up with losses😭
Had the same struggles as a beginner before a colleague introduced me to Mr William Noble who showed me great strategies on how trade and accumulate profit constantly which helped alot during the download and unlike others,He doesn't ask for anything to teach you.Good people still exist
Very unusual for this storm to keep its strength .
2021 is the Year of Flood.
2022 is the year of 🔥
Nha 2022 will be
아빠쭈니: Who knows? Maybe this is the "wrap-up" year in preparation for the rapture.
Did not know it happened in one single hour. Really; just truly unbelievable. Brian Koller
fun fact: hurricane sandy did more damage to new yorks subway and electrical networks than September 11th, and it affected many more people directly. in fact, it had degraded to a tropical storm by the time it made landfall
Thx I did not know so uh I was watching my window while the extreme hurricane was out there I live in New York I saw my tree fall down into the street R.I.P :( but I’m good and my family
i cant help but think this guy resembles captain hindsight
Very painful situation
Why can’t we build long pipes like oil pipeline from the places that are flooding to places were we need water why can’t we do that drain run off like in a yard to places really dry hope people get what I’m saying
In parts of NYC we got 8-10 inches of rain in 4-6 hours
It's basically hurricane Sandy all over again
NYC didn’t get it that bad with Sandy. Jersey did tho. It was insane. This is definitely NY’s Sandy
Clockwork ikr XD
These rainfall rates and amounts are only expected to occur every 200 to 500 years. Yea, right - but the problem with climate change is, when a warmer atmosphere can absorb more humidity, these events become something between 200-300 and 1500 times more likely. So you can now have them every year or even more. Not to mention what an actual 200 to 500 year event would look like with climate change... I dare not imagine. Sadly, with unbridled emissions, I can imagine that we are gonna see something like that sooner rather than later. This is not just a slight problem - this is red alert for the irrigation and above all drainage infrastructure not just around the country, but around the world...
We see the water bubble out of the street, the drain pipes need to be double in size, but there was never a good time to upgrade.
Same here in Philippines
The footage in NY shows water SUDDENLY gushing from one distinct direction but I don't see heavy rainfall at all. My cousin in NYC said it wasnt even raining like that, no more than normal
I was in nyc, there was heavy rainfall, my parents had to drive me home through it.
I go to NYC all the time I was there for 9/11 too
Of course it skipped Hampton Roads VA!
And remember that the quiet is always before the storm- " Psalms 69:22-23. Sometimes people don't see the storm coming, . Or as we might say judgment ! . . God is too be feared. . . " the beginning of wisdom is to have a fear of God. And if you do ! You will not scoff and mock him.. . Psalms 69:22 said, when things are peaceful it can become a trap ! . . . Psalms 46 said be still and ( know !) that I AM GOD.
oh my God this reminds me of the movie crawl..with the hurricane..be careful of the alagaters
IDA Did not have the correctoristics of a hurricane tropical storm or tropical depression when rain remain headed in to north east.
I don't know... this came out of nowhere for most in the northeast. Seems NWS needs something that is a bit more severe than "flash flood."
yall forgot about "Flash Flood **EMERGENCY**"?
god keep and save and protect the United states of America from anything bad amen amen amen amen
Cataclysms are happening all over the world. And they are getting worse every day. There is not a single country that alone can overcome the impending disasters. There is only one way out - to unite and build a Creative Society. See the International Online Conference on the Global Crisis. This already touches everyone. We must unite to survive and build a new society of kindness and justice. This project is designed to bring people from around the world together.
I hate to be a downer but that is too idealistic and not going to happen. You know someone is going to cry socalist ,communist , or shill for a new world order. There are too many greedy and selfish people.
😳 Underwater world from rainfall excess.
It's about the warnings we were expecting a Strom but not like this I'm 47 I've lived in NYC all my life this was crazy 1 minute it's rain hard then instantly flooding everywhere the drains in this city suck
Same the drains are trash
What if newyork suffered much worse heavy rain every year like Tokyo?
Lets not forget Alabama and Tennessee, that both had flooding and tornadoes!
Newyork needs more ambulance n ambulance workers. Needs more paramedic
how would said ambulances go to the people that need help if everything was covered with F L O O D S and W A T E R . . .?
GET USE TO IT .... it's just gonna get WORSE
Look at all those turd water gushing out from the sewage.
Ummmm turd water.
I think they might have to upgrade their hurricane category information to include a category 6, 7, @ 8 ?!!!!!
This hurricane wasnt even a category 5 lmao
I can tell you. What we got 2017 was a 10. Maria was much much worst than Ida. Dominica was destroyed
@@liliabenjamin2213 wasnt a 10. If you do just a 30 second google search you see that if there was a catagory 6 and 7 on the scale that only one hurricane in history wouldve been classed as a 7 and it was hurricane patricia in 2015
@@liliabenjamin2213 Well it doesn’t take a category 10 to destroy everything. Category 4 & 5 storms are completely capable of what Maria did.
@@-star_27-20 well category 10 is basically impossible. Only 1 cat 7 worthy storm in history
They didn't learn from Sandy?
North Hollywood has NYs back in prayers pwffff buah hahaha
I predict 32inches of snow this winter for NY
Eager to see the loots happening after this.
Learn to practice psalms 46 with your families during storms. . God is working.
More Billions on the way, rebuild all the Buildings that are always in harms way of hurricanes 🌀 crazy but true. 150 Billion in Louisiana in the last 10 years
Nature was showing her strength and anger. Due to all the garbage we been thowing on the grown
Who is going to protect the protector
why r we getting 100 year storms every 5 to 10 years. the weather service didnt hear about climate change
You who are lawless, wanting to do away with the law. .and those who pervert it - . . Psalms 76: 8-9 From the heavens God utters Judgment ; the earth feared and was stilled,. . .when God arose. to establish Judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. . The humble ones are those who love law, peace and order.

Or climate change, which is an actual logical explanation.
Humans can't control the weather like that get a clue.

@@babecat2000 and humans can and do control the weather all the time in the United Arab Emirates they make it rain whenever they want and even zionset occupied Israelis Make it rain on one of their holidays so learn your facts before you answer anything dumbass you must can't control the weather there is nothing left that humans didn't achieve that's why I believe the world is ending soon but why would you care go watch a soap opera or watch the news and believe everything they tell you
Ida coming back next year
Lord, I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.
Repeat them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.
God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.
His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.
His splendor was like the sunrise;
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power was hidden.
Plague went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled
and the age-old hills collapsed-
but he marches on forever.
I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
Were you angry with the rivers, Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?
You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.
You split the earth with rivers;
the mountains saw you and writhed.
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared
and lifted its waves on high.
The Almighty Creator says, "Anyone who follows My guidance will not go astray, nor suffer any misery" (Q 20:123). Otherwise, no more protection.

“I will heap on them one disaster after another,
I will use up all my arrows on them:
pangs of hunger, ravages of plague,

and wait always upon your God.” - (The Prophet Hosea 12: 6) -

My brothers, this is the power of God and the Qur’an brought it 1400 years ago. We do not invite you to Islam, rather we hope that you read the Qur’an with contemplation and understanding in it to see the truth and know that Islam is a religion of mercy and love, and we are all brothers.
God is so fast to punish Biden.
I didn’t see Biden in the subway, or sleeping in a flooding basement
Quit with the political nonsense.
Sonwas God punishing Biden when covid hit?
Can they still blame Trump for this?
Nah y’all are too busy blaming Biden and making natural disasters and science political.
Stop your global whining 😭 Come spend a Winter with me in Alaska🥶😱 20 below cometh'. Every time Mother Nature throws a curve ball at us we want to blame climate change.
That sounds lovely
It is climate change. And we are not blaming it, we are blaming humans. Educate yourself.

Excuse me sir, were you in NYC and witnessed basements get flooded during a heavy rainfall event? No right? :3
