@JonathanPetramala yes I know a ton of people from Louisiana. I honestly felt they were not prepared and obivouous to the true danger they were in. This girl saying she saying she was rushing to get to work is crazy, I'm sorry I'm calling in and not risking my life or vehicle.
Over here in Germany it is getting worse with people. Sometimes I think, we need a bigger (global?) catastrophy, so people wake up and realize, we have to work together.
Two years ago, 200 people drowned in a flood in Germany because no one felt responsible to warn or even evacuate the population. That is why it is still so important that people help each other and take care of each other. ❤
@Germany Climate change, aka Global Warming, due to reckless, careless, non environmental, inconsiderate,non true Christian human activities ❗☝🏾📖🙏🏾 Humans need population control, just like plants , animals and . Microbes have it.
I can watch people like you, a human being, helping other people just like you. Everyone coping together. The basement apartment thing is terrifying. Here in Minnesota, it's the same with snow every 20+ years. Disaster. We need each other. Well done, sir.
The scary thing is, some people don't want any help and want to be left alone. Such people have been known to be aggressive against people trying to help. I've witnessed it before.
I live in Brooklyn, in the area you filmed. I cried watching this video. We are one floor up but my downstairs neighbors flooded and we helped them. I went to Prospect Park yesterday after 8 straight days of rain. It was sunny and everyone was happy but everyone was talking about the rain and how scary it was. Seeing this helps me realize how dangerous it was. I’m so thankful that I’m OK and that I didn’t choose a garden apartment.
I absolutely respect you helping out the people whose cars died, even after being warned by you to not go there. I'm sure many others would've went "Told ya so, tough luck". You looked past that, which is rare.
I love how ----- no matter how deep and quickly flowing the water becomes ----- there are always some knuckleheads in vehicles thinking, "Yeah! All right! We can do this!" and then they all end up having to be rescued.
Amazing how all the network news don't show all the awesome people helping each other, they only focus on the drama and negativity. Your video is the first time I feel good as you go around talking to people, I even had a huge urge to go help too but I'm in Wisconsin. Thank you for being a human!!!!
I was In NY when this happened. It still can’t believe how much water it was to this very day. While I do feel bad for the hundreds of people whose homes got damaged there was still a cool factor as I had never seen anything like this before and it was cool for something like this to happen for a day.
This video really helped me understand what was happening. You didn’t sensationalize -instead, just let the images and the people tell the story. Kudos to you, your cameraman and drone “pilot”! Now a follower.

@@natmol1595 Exactly! I just said the same thing to who I forwarded this.. They cry climate change, but I believe it's weather modification. All the big floods, droughts, and even a lot of the fires...
Thats because the Left Wing Liberal News makes us look like WILD ANIMALS and VICTIMS. WE ALL GET ALONG MOST OF THE TIME but you wont see that on nbc or cnn.
Yep! I don't mind clearing them before major storms on my street but people come out acting guilty af. We get too much lightning to go out during the rain and prevention helps. The city would require repeated drain clearing.
Exactly! It goes beyond that, too... it's important to pick up garbage anytime you see it. When the floods come, it all gets washed into the drains and clogs them up. Pick it up before it causes a problem.
@@cobobonzobobby Sure, it's the clogged drains. Not the exorbitant RECORD HIGH amount of rain. Get your head out of your ass. This summer was filled with climate disasters in EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF THE WORLD. But, no. It's the drains. 🙄

Jonathan, thank you for the incredible film footage you put together in this documentary short. And, thanks for helping some of the folks you came across during the filming. What you captured on film clearly shows just how ill-prepared many cities, towns and hamlets are when it comes to proper water/sewage drainage. Thanks again.
Thank you! I think it’s important to document and show a real, raw look at these disasters so people maybe will learn and prepare for a future one. Hype hurts so often, I am just trying to offer an alternative to traditional media
I really don’t watch news on television, but I do watch things that come up on TH-cam that are relevant to the time. We are living in. Thank you so much for this video. You are a kind person to tape this history. Wonderful to see neighbors acting kind towards each other! And thank you again for this video.
I think new yorkers should be more neighborly and accept a small portion of what southern states have been dealing with. They are humans and deserve your compassion and acceptance.
This is a powerful piece of storytelling - especially given the speed with which you brought it to TH-cam. You tell a compelling story and stay out of the way of the camera. This is clearly about the people featured and not so much about you and your reactions. THe scenes of strangers coming together to solve problems in real time with real consequences is good medicine for so many feelings of division and conflict in the majority of media and mindset these days. How they bent their backs and pushed with mighty force to calmly escort the stalled cars to shallower waters was inspiring. Also, your conversation with the woman reaching into the muck with her bare hands to clear the drains and your conversation and suggestion that she take a shower soon was telling. It might be gross to go further into it but I think necessary for people to understand how much waste, sewage and other dangerous things are swirling about at their ankles in these situations. Blessings on you and all New Yorkers.
Huge respect to you for helping those people’s cars during the heavy rain and floods. This is what I love about New Yorkers, is that they’ll they come together and help one another out. Hope you guys pull through this difficult time
Thank you so much for showing this. The kindness and goodwill and sheer determination of the NY people to go about their business as usual is heart warming. I hope there is help for those in the basements to get over this disaster. Maybe a time for those car/boat combinations that never really came to anything when they were invented.
They have nothing else to do, so why not. They get a check from the government, but aren't working, otherwise they wouldn't be in the streets at that time of day.
Such a shame for the people living in those cool below ground apartments. I have seen videos featuring them and if they got flooded that really sucks for people living in them!!
This climate change thing is pure BS, what caused these floods was the dirt in the city, the fault of a piggy and careless mayor who lets garbage accumulate and obstruct the drainage routes and block the path of the water. This is a thing for Democratic governments.
Those 4 men are angels! Especially the stocky man in all black that said he was working from home. His wife came home and told him it was bad outside so he decided to go outside and help. He is the definition of adorable. No really, if you look in the dictionary under “adorable”, there is a picture of him. ❤️
The one thing I’ve always loved about NYC is the resilience in its people during times of urgency. The kindness in those gentleman helping out was heartwarming to see. Many blessings to them. Heartbreaking to see all that damage.
It shouldn't take a tragedy for people to help. And no New Yorkers don't help. There was a guy who was stabbed and people literally walked past him without calling 911. A lady was stabbed on the train and nobody helped.
@@darkpisces8125 New Yorkers DEFINITELY help but sometimes it a life or death situation and it would be stupid to rush into 2 other men's fight like a vigilante or something. most ppl won't jump into an existing fight unless they know they can win/win sides so I don't expect the average guy to stand up and start enforcing subway justice on a moving train car. idk what the point of ur comment is. ppl have helped me in many ways so many times here
I loved the way that you put so many different flooded areas together so that we could see how everyone was doing. I also liked the way that you talked with the people who lived there and filmed how people were helping and being helped. Another thing that was interesting was the history that you brought up. GREAT JOB! May God be with you and your family.
You remained calm and did an excellent job at giving stressed out and overwhelmed drivers directions when their cars were pushed. You are a great journalist!🙏🏻
lots of them seem rather stupid, thinking their cars can handle driving through lots of water. i get why people are laughing why they are filmed when they know they were complete morons driving through this kind of flooded streets. I would think people where smarter, but since covid a know people are mostlyrobots consuming high fructose corn syrup and watching netflix and porn while eating home brought garbage in their coaches and gettin fatter and fatter
No, this is NOT normal for NYC, I have NEVER seen anything like this in my entire 56 years of living. We don’t get rain like this is NYC. It’s normal just sprinkles and stops.
Do you think clean storm drains could have handled this amount of rain?? Um no! I live in an area that floods easily when there is this amount of rain falling at this rate, the drains just can’t handle it. I saw first hand in Ida when I lost my basement.
Excellent job and thanks for helping your fellow Americans ! I truly wish that people would always be kind to each other all of the time, not just during events like this...
unfortunatly we live in a society where if there is a drama your fellow human being is more likely to whip there phone out and record your dillema in the hope of likes on phucking you tube or something ...ive seen it happen get me out here
Glad you like them! I appreciate you following along! Hope to have some new videos later this week, finally have something to tell after months with no significant weather.
I pray for the animals left in basement apartments when people go to work early because they haven't been warned or they have ignored flood warnings. Father God, may all the helpless, both human and animal be kept safe in terrible weather , in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
It amazes me how every single person, even the ones who just flooded their cars or were losing their homes, were so genuinely kind and compassionate and willing to talk. People often talk about NYC being an uptight, kinda mean place, but there was and is real empathy happening. Kudos for getting people's experience.
Excellent documentation. You're a saint for helping out wherever you could. Stay safe out there... lots of really bad stuff mixed in with that flood water.
God sent hes only son Jesus christ to died for our sins so we can have eternal life Jesus loves you . The Gospel Romans 3:23-24, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9-11, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
I love that you are helping people and not just recording . My prayer goes to people living in basement. Believe me you will remember it for the rest of your life and I hope in a good day and there is nothing you can do let nature do its job and enjoy it.
Wow just wow. Sending prayers to everyone in NYC. And the gentlemen who were helping motorist on their street who kept trying to drive through they are kind, generous heroes, the motorist should rethink traveling during this time
I grew up in NYC, and was there for Sandy. What surprises me is that people don’t seem to be at all prepared for the changes in weather patterns - not just in NYC. It’s incredibly dangerous to be walking or driving around in flood waters.
NYC has been hit by hurricanes and massive weather events since the beginning of time. There are wetter days on record, and records only go back about a hundred years.
Great recap, Jonathan! Awesome to see so many out there helping during such a serious flood event. Always a pleasure working with you to get the word out from the field!
Thank you for such an informative video. I loved all the smiling faces even though they had to work hard to rescue cars. It really warms my heart to see all helping each other. The ladies clearing out the drains were awesome. Why weren't city workers out there doing that? Anyway, I hope everyone is ok.
Considering the short turnaround time, this video was very well done. Takes away the sensationalism of the 30-second newsfeeds & really helps one experience it like the ppl who are actually going thru it. Bravo 17:53 to you guys as maybe ppl will see this & be less inclined to take chances out on the road. Shoutout to the "Long Island Neighborhood Push Crew " who represents the true definition of community. Sadly this era has been lost to the swarm of knee-jerk phone videographers on a quest to go viral. Kudos to everyone involved in this film!
Absolutely brilliant compilation of an actual event! Your interaction showed the kindness and good will we must always remember to embrace. This should go viral!
Looks like the Americans get there Karma on there own soil, for all the illegal wars USA has done with lies to other nations for 80 years! Karma is a itch America, now you feel how it is to lose everything! The difference is you Guys bombed innocent people and destroyed with bio chemical weapons countries soil. All the wars in the past 80 years was done illegally by the United States and GB! America this is just your beginning ..... global warming 😂on my where the sun doesn’t shine ! It’s HAARP ! As other nations are saying USA destroys itself.
Hey man, not only was that great reporting, but you obviously care doing so much to help all those people. Thanks to you and all those guys hanging out pushing out car after car after car, I live in Florida there are many rules. We follow when it comes to deep water Slow and steady never stop and if you’re not sure the depth or you see ripples, don’t risk it.
Those who are living in basement apartments are facing the worst. It is so nice to see that people remain calm and helping each other Of course some people never listen too.
I’m a New Yorker, and I have never seen anything like this. I’m worried for my friends that live in apartments below the street level. Many brownstones have apartments like this. I am thinking about my loved ones, but I’m proud of my fellow New Yorkers who are helping others, whether they know each other or are just people in need. It’s why I love NYC. ❤
@@statementleaver8095 No, they need to stay off the roads. That depth of water damages a car's electronics, and it's unsafe. They likely called their friends instead. That's why we have phones.
@@cacatr4495 Oh.......Everyone Disabled in NY???? Cant Folk Walk? Are NY citizens dependent on Vehicles? Going off like it's a Round trip across the Nation 🤦♂️
@@statementleaver8095 Walking in deep water is also unsafe, due to unseen dangers in the water, and pollutants from cars, etc. Where I live (all my life), we have normally had severe flooding every summer through the monsoon season, so I know the dangers. If they can call their friends on the phone, it's much better judgement than being out in the deep water.
@@cacatr4495 Wow!! So other than Excuses You don't know what Waders are? You don't have Paved roads......Sounds like some Serious Potholes in Your lands! And Last but not Least You don't know what a Wash involves..... Cleansing of Contamination/Dirt Off the Body Easily said when everyone has a Mobile phone.......Land line Cut due to Flooding🙊 Although Most importantly Your Phone has Credit🙊
NYC has been having this issue for many years. Infrastructure sucks here! I can’t believe no one is working on it! Like how many more floods we need to go through???
The East River Park project between FDR-Houston, Cherry-South Streets was completed earlier this year. Dunes were set in Far Rockaway-Rockaway Park, supposedly CI & Brighton Beaches also.
Blame the italian mob. Creating problems so that they can then milk the city and annoy everyone else who commutes with the traffic that they then cause.
@murphyferret69 Murphy the ferret you are right!!!, this is fake news!! , these are paid actors!!! Notice: everybody is smiling 😊and having a good time Nothing is happening, as our famous president Donald Trump said... It's just fake....... Fake news... There is no climate change 🤥
Really feel for the residents who are getting flooded having been through the Lismore floods in eastern Australia with the most recent and disastrous ones in February/March of 2022. Hope everyone is safe. Peace.
Hello from 2440, Eastern NSW 👋🏼I don’t watch the news often but when I catch glimpses and Lismore is the topic, I see that things aren’t always being moved along in a timely fashion (for everyone). I hope that is not your case. It’s nice to see a kind comment from someone who has been in the situation and I’m sure the solidarity of first hand experience will mean a lot to an affected NYC resident who reads it.✌🏼kind regards.
This reminds me plenty of the movie Day After Tomorrow. All that was missing was the tidal wave coming through. Glad to see so many people helping each other.
This is devastating! The men that pushed the cars to a safer place, thank you and God Bless them! 🙏🏾 My daughter lives in N.Y., she is ok! Jonathan Petramala, thank you also for help pushing cars out the deep water to lesser water! Also, thank you for filming! God Bless! 🙏🏾
So nice to see, first they waved and warned the drivers, deep water, do not drive, stop!!!! It didn't work and then the owner of that car sits comfortably steering while 4 guys pushing the same stupid, helping him out.
I was doing Uber on Long Island when the rain came down heavy like this. It was crazy AF. The street were like rivers. Luckily my suv made it through without issues.
No, it's not. The weather has been controlled and modified on a daily basis since the 1950's and they were already using cloudseeding and electromagnetic weather machines as a weapon of war in Vietnam. @@tomparker9966
He did such a great job with this piece. Reporting, assisting and getting the engagement, great job showing how New Yorkers can come together in time of need!!!!
I feel so sad for all city dwellers in basement apartments. This flood has destroyed their apartments! It was heart warming seen so many New Yorkers helping other New Yorkers in distress. Thank you for this excellent video.
One of the bright spots in a very dark situation like this is in some people the good comes out, and we start helping one another! My family survived hurricane Michael, but we lost everything, but it was worth it all to make friends with neighbors that I hadn’t talked to before because we all had to help each other ! After five years, we still have a yearly Michael’s barbecue to keep in touch with each other! To remind us that people are more important than things!
You did a wonderful job telling the true story of what actually happened. I’m sure you outdid all of the others by a mile!! Great video of a tragic event.
"The true story"? "its all because of climate change" he said, and asking the people about it they say it happend a lot... And flooded streets are 85% of blocked draining systems as u can see in the footage everybody try to clear the blocked entrys
Wow this reminds me of a severe blizzard with 120 mph winds that lasted 2 days and trapped people in their homes and cars in my city. I loved watching that footage those 4 neighbourhood guys medal 🏅 to you for helping the motorists out. Awesome footage.
When humans are faced with disaster they tend to help each other out. When the Titanic was sinking men gave up their spots on the lifeboats so that women and children could take their place. Disaster leads to acts of compassion and heroism.
@SeanCrowley-ks1mu we had 100 centimeters of snow and drifts higher. People were trapped in their homes the blizzard overcame our infrastructure. People without light and heat 5 days and many trapped. We ended up calling in the national guard. In my mind it was very memorable. You don't have to understand.
except the blizzard doesn't get inside the homes and damage appliances furniture walls floors! soon as a blizzard melts, everything is the way it was. This flooding is depressing! financially disastrous! a Black Swan event. What do the invaders living at Roosevelt Hotel think? Welcome to NYC!
@SarahSmith-vt3oc hey.guys I'm not from there and no we don't have floods. But ppl have died trapped in their cars on highways from the blinding snow and huge amounts so plows and emergency vehicles couldn't reach them. This isn't a p#ss$ng contest about what area had the worst effects. It was a simple observation made by me that it reminded me of snowmagden.
I've lived in south-central Texas my whole life, and flooding is common where I'm at ... Rules for water over roads: 1. Don't go in it, 2. If you must, go slowly, and 3. Never take your foot off the gas ... It's quite frightening stall your car in deep water, even more so when you feel it begin to float - - Very nicely done video
don’t waste your time, “for 24 hours weather models show “… and then tds…. just like the ones in Florida who act surprised when there’s a hurricane every year….
Also! Is there anything New Yorkers can’t face? I love the spirit of people helping out. If anyone in the world has dealt with crap, is New Yorkers. Great video! 👏👏👏
I’m glad you helped No one expects rainfall like this so they don’t have protective clothing Walking around in floodwater in normal clothing can cause people to get very sick Many people don’t realize that floods don’t just happen from blocked storm drains, the drainage areas can be so flooded that the sewage mixes with the rain water and flows throughout a large area above ground
No one one expects anything! Because a big part of our global society is ignorant, and the leadership of big corporations and in politics that does know cold care, but doesn't - for the sake of short-term benefits and growth. Yet, humanity got warned in 1972 by the Club of Rome, or Rachel Carson. We could have done a lot in this 50 years. And now we start to see the results. Simple physics! Expect more storms and heavier floods, in the future!
People should be warned that driving through deep flood water can short out the car's entire electrical system. It's very dangerous at night because you can't tell how deep it is. You won't be able to unlock the doors or roll down any windows and you get trapped. If the car drifts into deeper waters, you will drown. If you ever find yourself in this situation, break the glass of the door with a blunt object - or remove the headrest from your seat. Most importantly, aim at the corners of the glass. Stay safe out there.
Well they pushing the climate change agenda you will see more, Blame Biden and Dems using Cloud Seeding, HARP and other techniques to Change the weather
@@peterthegreat996 not sure about messaging in NY, but I knew Thursday morning I would be flying in that night for the rain on Friday. It was very clear this was going to happen.
Im sitting here deep in Bavaria Germany and holy cow we don’t have such Katastrophyk events here - hope every one learn something from that and upgrade his basement after it 👍 hope no one gets hurt….
Great attitudes from the guys who helped the stranded drivers, kudos to them. ♡ A moral support from Jakarta/Indonesia, where I have experienced similar if not worst rainfalls. It lifts the spirit if we have a sense of humor in such events (e.g. we have an instant water boom park :-) It's also important in the aftermath of such events that you still need to help those who are worse off. Pray for strength and soon recovery.
Welcome to Florida's yearly weather situations... Best advice I can give is help one and another without hesitation or judgement. Be kind and remember its not just you but all your community, county and such. Programs, numbers and help will be slammed and you will feel like no one is helping but they are!!!

Ouch. Good bye Cheers.
Wait 'Blockbuster' @ 01:28? I thought they were extinct. On a more practical note, get out of the cities, prepare for it to get much worse.
I had to laugh at that Blockbuster sign. That's got to be an extremely old sign. Very weird though.

It was encouraging to see someone actually clearing the storm drains. Flood water management works wayy better when it's not clogged with garbage.
Yep! I don't mind clearing them before major storms on my street but people come out acting guilty af.
We get too much lightning to go out during the rain and prevention helps. The city would require repeated drain clearing.
Exactly! It goes beyond that, too... it's important to pick up garbage anytime you see it. When the floods come, it all gets washed into the drains and clogs them up. Pick it up before it causes a problem.
This is why this happened. LOL at people crying climate change, when NYC has one of the worst sewage systems in the entire US.
@@cobobonzobobby Sure, it's the clogged drains. Not the exorbitant RECORD HIGH amount of rain. Get your head out of your ass. This summer was filled with climate disasters in EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF THE WORLD. But, no. It's the drains. 🙄
NY has bring back the "No garbage throwing law back into effect"
absolutely respect you helping out the people whose cars died, even after being warned by you to not go there.
I'm sure many others would've went "Told ya so, tough luck". You looked past that, which is rare.😳😳
Loved the woman cleaning the storm drains, so genuine and caring. Awesome video Jonathan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
army, firefighters and police are taking a weekend break, how about the plunge protection team and social workers and FEMA, all having a break from work🤣
These new-yorkers are fantastic : They keep cool and smiling despite the damages caused by the floods. Respect !
Exactly what I thought.
No wailing, just get on with it.
Was that lady unblocking a drain?
That's because nobody owns anything.
I'm always calm when it's just my landlords property.
Pity the person who has an electric tesla. Gas is king.
Nothing like a good disaster to bring the people together. I'm in Houston and that's the best part of hurricanes!

Jonathan, thank you for the incredible film footage you put together in this documentary short. And, thanks for helping some of the folks you came across during the filming. What you captured on film clearly shows just how ill-prepared many cities, towns and hamlets are when it comes to proper water/sewage drainage. Thanks again.
Thank you! I think it’s important to document and show a real, raw look at these disasters so people maybe will learn and prepare for a future one. Hype hurts so often, I am just trying to offer an alternative to traditional media
I really don’t watch news on television, but I do watch things that come up on TH-cam that are relevant to the time. We are living in. Thank you so much for this video. You are a kind person to tape this history. Wonderful to see neighbors acting kind towards each other! And thank you again for this video.

Refreshing to see someone behaving neighborly during a disaster
I am fortunate to see it often in these storms
this wouldn't happen if certain people stop playing god ! geo **gineer***
HAARP
I think new yorkers should be more neighborly and accept a small portion of what southern states have been dealing with. They are humans and deserve your compassion and acceptance.
this is not a disaster anymore, in a few weeks there will be more water.
This is because of the burning of fossil fuels
I love how people came together and helped each other.
Just wait 😂🤣
I love how they push 1 car out and then watch 2 more go get stuck in the same spot..
@@br.m I was looking for that comment. The sheer stupidity, you see people pushing car out and you go in.
@EmmaParker-ot1eh don't be fooled, it isn't happening here either. MSM has taken control of many social media content creators as well.
This is a powerful piece of storytelling - especially given the speed with which you brought it to TH-cam. You tell a compelling story and stay out of the way of the camera. This is clearly about the people featured and not so much about you and your reactions. THe scenes of strangers coming together to solve problems in real time with real consequences is good medicine for so many feelings of division and conflict in the majority of media and mindset these days. How they bent their backs and pushed with mighty force to calmly escort the stalled cars to shallower waters was inspiring. Also, your conversation with the woman reaching into the muck with her bare hands to clear the drains and your conversation and suggestion that she take a shower soon was telling. It might be gross to go further into it but I think necessary for people to understand how much waste, sewage and other dangerous things are swirling about at their ankles in these situations. Blessings on you and all New Yorkers.
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching!
Wow,just overwhelming event for these folks. But it warms my heart to see strangers helping strangers. Prayers to all❤️🩹
Praying along side you.🙏🙏
Huge respect to you for helping those people’s cars during the heavy rain and floods. This is what I love about New Yorkers, is that they’ll they come together and help one another out. Hope you guys pull through this difficult time
Right go ahead and drive and put people at unnecessary risk…brilliant
I was amazed how everyone kept smiling. I feel like I would be devastated if my house was flooded.
you make out like no one else ever in a natural disaster would or does the same?
Come together, in moronic situations, like making a car a submarine.
Nrw York's people aren't special. People all around the world 'come together' during catastrophes.
WHERE IS THE MILITARY WHY DID OUR GOVERNMENT ABANDONED THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK
Thank you so much for showing this. The kindness and goodwill and sheer determination of the NY people to go about their business as usual is heart warming. I hope there is help for those in the basements to get over this disaster. Maybe a time for those car/boat combinations that never really came to anything when they were invented.
This looks like the movie the day after tomorrow
Its all fake tthe libs are AI generated.
Very well documented. People don't realize that a car is not a boat. So much damage, incredible.
These guys are really helpful by pushing cars and parking them to safety. Salut to such caring people.
Very stupid to walk in open water like that
They have nothing else to do, so why not. They get a check from the government, but aren't working, otherwise they wouldn't be in the streets at that time of day.
Finally someone acknowledged the total stupidity of these people
Amazing reporting. Very thorough. Thank you for letting us see the people and how their dealing with this event. Kindness is heart warming.
Such a shame for the people living in those cool below ground apartments. I have seen videos featuring them and if they got flooded that really sucks for people living in them!!
Repent! Follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, this is the wrath of God
This climate change thing is pure BS, what caused these floods was the dirt in the city, the fault of a piggy and careless mayor who lets garbage accumulate and obstruct the drainage routes and block the path of the water. This is a thing for Democratic governments.
Those 4 men are angels! Especially the stocky man in all black that said he was working from home. His wife came home and told him it was bad outside so he decided to go outside and help. He is the definition of adorable. No really, if you look in the dictionary under “adorable”, there is a picture of him. ❤️
The one thing I’ve always loved about NYC is the resilience in its people during times of urgency. The kindness in those gentleman helping out was heartwarming to see. Many blessings to them. Heartbreaking to see all that damage.
It shouldn't take a tragedy for people to help. And no New Yorkers don't help. There was a guy who was stabbed and people literally walked past him without calling 911. A lady was stabbed on the train and nobody helped.
@@darkpisces8125 New Yorkers DEFINITELY help but sometimes it a life or death situation and it would be stupid to rush into 2 other men's fight like a vigilante or something. most ppl won't jump into an existing fight unless they know they can win/win sides so I don't expect the average guy to stand up and start enforcing subway justice on a moving train car. idk what the point of ur comment is. ppl have helped me in many ways so many times here
Everyone seems happy go lucky considering the sheer amount of damage. Typical Americans 😊
@@darkpisces8125you are so right. Most of the time they're just standing around while someone else is getting stabbed or shot!
@@MarcGarza-x5eYou are going intervene when someone is being shot! 😂😂😂
I loved the way that you put so many different flooded areas together so that we could see how everyone was doing. I also liked the way that you talked with the people who lived there and filmed how people were helping and being helped. Another thing that was interesting was the history that you brought up. GREAT JOB! May God be with you and your family.
Electric cars can get water in the battery and can burst into flames up to 2 weeks later. Happened in Florida after the hurricane.
yeah man, were doomed
That was mainly due to salt water intrusion, but you are correct. Can't rule that out in this situation either.
It’s a really good thing gasoline isn’t flammable
Yes that's a fact!
@@jrheritagasoline won't self ignite though
Huge props to you for helping those people push their cars. That's immensely nice.😊
You remained calm and did an excellent job at giving stressed out and overwhelmed drivers directions when their cars were pushed.
You are a great journalist!🙏🏻
How small is man in the face of nature-the small worms that never learns-that we are nothing but dust...
Stressed? We call that a-holes like that Audi driver knew she was taking the risk driving dangerously fast
@@Bambeakzshe was definitely dense and just pitifully stupid.
I gotta give it to the New Yorkers they pull together through all major disasters… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That's one think I have loved about living here. You feel like even total strangers have your back.
They certainly do ❤
Even though they're morons
lots of them seem rather stupid, thinking their cars can handle driving through lots of water. i get why people are laughing why they are filmed when they know they were complete morons driving through this kind of flooded streets. I would think people where smarter, but since covid a know people are mostlyrobots consuming high fructose corn syrup and watching netflix and porn while eating home brought garbage in their coaches and gettin fatter and fatter
Never ever dig out a drain with bare hands, could be needles.
Yea, most the time it's clogged with trash.
It always takes a disaster for New Yorkers to work together but when they come together like this, they are world class. Respect.
When I lived in the area a few years ago, I kept having flood nightmares. I moved and the nightmares went away. Glad I listened.
This brings out the best of the human nature, helping one another....❤
Terrible situation but most people take it with a smile, thats really admirable!
Stay strong New Yorkers!
What a lovely group of gentlemen! It’s nice to know that “good neighbors” still exist!!!
CITY MAINTENANCE is supposed to clean the STORM drains regularly‼️
Am I the only one who NEVER sees that being done anymore❓
Meh. You live on a swamp.
Still gonna keep sending you bus loads of your new neighbors.
Your mayor and city Democrats don't care for you.
@@mutiny_on_the_bounty Those with intellectual poverty always troll, keep it up mental midget
No, this is NOT normal for NYC, I have NEVER seen anything like this in my entire 56 years of living.
We don’t get rain like this is NYC. It’s normal just sprinkles and stops.
Do you think clean storm drains could have handled this amount of rain?? Um no! I live in an area that floods easily when there is this amount of rain falling at this rate, the drains just can’t handle it. I saw first hand in Ida when I lost my basement.
Excellent job and thanks for helping your fellow Americans ! I truly wish that people would always be kind to each other all of the time, not just during events like this...
I agree 100%, and I'll bet no one asked about politics, it's about love and kindness.
we can all do that right now
unfortunatly we live in a society where if there is a drama your fellow human being is more likely to whip there phone out and record your dillema in the hope of likes on phucking you tube or something ...ive seen it happen get me out here
AMEN, TO THAT!!!!!
Me as wel
How wonderful to see everyone helping eachother so they dont feel alone
I'm watchin all your video's ...just discovered you today ...love it
Glad you like them! I appreciate you following along! Hope to have some new videos later this week, finally have something to tell after months with no significant weather.
Prayers for the ones in the basement apartments. I hope they were able to get out in time.
I pray for the animals left in basement apartments when people go to work early because they haven't been warned or they have ignored flood warnings.
Father God, may all the helpless, both human and animal be kept safe in terrible weather , in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
It amazes me how every single person, even the ones who just flooded their cars or were losing their homes, were so genuinely kind and compassionate and willing to talk. People often talk about NYC being an uptight, kinda mean place, but there was and is real empathy happening. Kudos for getting people's experience.
It’s important to document and show, people 99% of the time are so kind during bad situations like this
Excellent documentation. You're a saint for helping out wherever you could.
Stay safe out there... lots of really bad stuff mixed in with that flood water.

I grew up in NYC, and was there for Sandy. What surprises me is that people don’t seem to be at all prepared for the changes in weather patterns - not just in NYC. It’s incredibly dangerous to be walking or driving around in flood waters.
NYC has been hit by hurricanes and massive weather events since the beginning of time. There are wetter days on record, and records only go back about a hundred years.

Thank you for such an informative video. I loved all the smiling faces even though they had to work hard to rescue cars. It really warms my heart to see all helping each other. The ladies clearing out the drains were awesome. Why weren't city workers out there doing that? Anyway, I hope everyone is ok.
There are a lot of drains, and other priorities like basement rescues, hospitals, etc.
Considering the short turnaround time, this video was very well done. Takes away the sensationalism of the 30-second newsfeeds & really helps one experience it like the ppl who are actually going thru it. Bravo 17:53 to you guys as maybe ppl will see this & be less inclined to take chances out on the road. Shoutout to the "Long Island Neighborhood Push Crew " who represents the true definition of community. Sadly this era has been lost to the swarm of knee-jerk phone videographers on a quest to go viral. Kudos to everyone involved in this film!
My Prayers goes out to these people in NYC.
Amazing video ❤
Thank you!!
Amazing job. You really see what happened, so much better than a typical local TV station report.
This happed 10 yrs ago there poor management of taxmoney
Absolutely brilliant compilation of an actual event! Your interaction showed the kindness and good will we must always remember to embrace. This should go viral!

Looks like the Americans get there Karma on there own soil, for all the illegal wars USA has done with lies to other nations for 80 years! Karma is a itch America, now you feel how it is to lose everything! The difference is you Guys bombed innocent people and destroyed with bio chemical weapons countries soil. All the wars in the past 80 years was done illegally by the United States and GB! America this is just your beginning ..... global warming 😂on my where the sun doesn’t shine ! It’s HAARP ! As other nations are saying USA destroys itself.
Hey man, not only was that great reporting, but you obviously care doing so much to help all those people. Thanks to you and all those guys hanging out pushing out car after car after car, I live in Florida there are many rules. We follow when it comes to deep water Slow and steady never stop and if you’re not sure the depth or you see ripples, don’t risk it.
Terrific documentary 👏 We get terrible floods in parts of Australia too. My heart goes out to New Yorkers.
Thank you...you guys absolutely do. At some point I will make it back to cover some weather there.
Those who are living in basement apartments are facing the worst. It is so nice to see that people remain calm and helping each other
Of course some people never listen too.
Flood alert alarms might be a thing for basement apartments going forward in NYC and other similarly situated city neighborhoods.
lets be real. if they were negatvie they probably were not outside.. they were indoors crying about it
I don't think there are all that many basement apartments in the NYC area.
I’m a New Yorker, and I have never seen anything like this. I’m worried for my friends that live in apartments below the street level. Many brownstones have apartments like this. I am thinking about my loved ones, but I’m proud of my fellow New Yorkers who are helping others, whether they know each other or are just people in need. It’s why I love NYC. ❤
You're NOT made of Sugar so GO Check on them!
@@statementleaver8095
No, they need to stay off the roads. That depth of water damages a car's electronics, and it's unsafe. They likely called their friends instead. That's why we have phones.

Walking in deep water is also unsafe, due to unseen dangers in the water, and pollutants from cars, etc. Where I live (all my life), we have normally had severe flooding every summer through the monsoon season, so I know the dangers. If they can call their friends on the phone, it's much better judgement than being out in the deep water.

I ❤ NY
NYC has been having this issue for many years. Infrastructure sucks here! I can’t believe no one is working on it! Like how many more floods we need to go through???
Theres places way worse than NY. A lot of places.
New York takes all that money and crosses their fingers hoping nothing happens.
The East River Park project between FDR-Houston, Cherry-South Streets was completed earlier this year. Dunes were set in Far Rockaway-Rockaway Park, supposedly CI & Brighton Beaches also.
And typically how much would you be paying to rent a place in NYC….go figure….All that concrete juggle built on old drains and sewers…
Blame the italian mob. Creating problems so that they can then milk the city and annoy everyone else who commutes with the traffic that they then cause.
New Yorker's pull together and help one another and that's the way it should be!!
I was impressed with the New Yorkers I ran into
Rats do the same thing
@murphyferret69 Murphy the ferret you are right!!!, this is fake news!! , these are paid actors!!! Notice: everybody is smiling 😊and having a good time
Nothing is happening, as our famous president Donald Trump said... It's just fake....... Fake news... There is no climate change 🤥

Really feel for the residents who are getting flooded having been through the Lismore floods in eastern Australia with the most recent and disastrous ones in February/March of 2022.
Hope everyone is safe. Peace.
Hello from 2440, Eastern NSW 👋🏼I don’t watch the news often but when I catch glimpses and Lismore is the topic, I see that things aren’t always being moved along in a timely fashion (for everyone). I hope that is not your case. It’s nice to see a kind comment from someone who has been in the situation and I’m sure the solidarity of first hand experience will mean a lot to an affected NYC resident who reads it.✌🏼kind regards.

So nice to see, first they waved and warned the drivers, deep water, do not drive, stop!!!! It didn't work and then the owner of that car sits comfortably steering while 4 guys pushing the same stupid, helping him out.

One of the bright spots in a very dark situation like this is in some people the good comes out, and we start helping one another!
My family survived hurricane Michael, but we lost everything, but it was worth it all to make friends with neighbors that I hadn’t talked to before because we all had to help each other ! After five years, we still have a yearly Michael’s barbecue to keep in touch with each other! To remind us that people are more important than things!
You did a wonderful job telling the true story of what actually happened. I’m sure you outdid all of the others by a mile!! Great video of a tragic event.
The good news is Climate Change is a hoax and this rain isn't real.
Bendiciones para todos de❤
"The true story"?
"its all because of climate change" he said, and asking the people about it they say it happend a lot... And flooded streets are 85% of blocked draining systems as u can see in the footage everybody try to clear the blocked entrys
absolutely 👍
Great content
Thank you!
Wow this reminds me of a severe blizzard with 120 mph winds that lasted 2 days and trapped people in their homes and cars in my city. I loved watching that footage those 4 neighbourhood guys medal 🏅 to you for helping the motorists out. Awesome footage.
Just how is this comparable ??
When humans are faced with disaster they tend to help each other out. When the Titanic was sinking men gave up their spots on the lifeboats so that women and children could take their place. Disaster leads to acts of compassion and heroism.
@SeanCrowley-ks1mu we had 100 centimeters of snow and drifts higher. People were trapped in their homes the blizzard overcame our infrastructure. People without light and heat 5 days and many trapped. We ended up calling in the national guard. In my mind it was very memorable. You don't have to understand.
except the blizzard doesn't get inside the homes and damage appliances furniture walls floors! soon as a blizzard melts, everything is the way it was. This flooding is depressing! financially disastrous! a Black Swan event. What do the invaders living at Roosevelt Hotel think? Welcome to NYC!
@SarahSmith-vt3oc hey.guys I'm not from there and no we don't have floods. But ppl have died trapped in their cars on highways from the blinding snow and huge amounts so plows and emergency vehicles couldn't reach them. This isn't a p#ss$ng contest about what area had the worst effects. It was a simple observation made by me that it reminded me of snowmagden.
I've lived in south-central Texas my whole life, and flooding is common where I'm at ... Rules for water over roads: 1. Don't go in it, 2. If you must, go slowly, and 3. Never take your foot off the gas ... It's quite frightening stall your car in deep water, even more so when you feel it begin to float - - Very nicely done video
They we caught
don’t waste your time, “for 24 hours weather models show “… and then tds…. just like the ones in Florida who act surprised when there’s a hurricane every year….
Also! Is there anything New Yorkers can’t face? I love the spirit of people helping out.
If anyone in the world has dealt with crap, is New Yorkers.
Great video! 👏👏👏

I’m glad you helped
No one expects rainfall like this so they don’t have protective clothing
Walking around in floodwater in normal clothing can cause people to get very sick
Many people don’t realize that floods don’t just happen from blocked storm drains, the drainage areas can be so flooded that the sewage mixes with the rain water and flows throughout a large area above ground
This is an excellent point. Never wade through flood waters if you don't have to!
No one one expects anything! Because a big part of our global society is ignorant, and the leadership of big corporations and in politics that does know cold care, but doesn't - for the sake of short-term benefits and growth. Yet, humanity got warned in 1972 by the Club of Rome, or Rachel Carson. We could have done a lot in this 50 years. And now we start to see the results. Simple physics! Expect more storms and heavier floods, in the future!
People should be warned that driving through deep flood water can short out the car's entire electrical system. It's very dangerous at night because you can't tell how deep it is. You won't be able to unlock the doors or roll down any windows and you get trapped. If the car drifts into deeper waters, you will drown. If you ever find yourself in this situation, break the glass of the door with a blunt object - or remove the headrest from your seat. Most importantly, aim at the corners of the glass. Stay safe out there.
Good tip!

Thanks so much!!
I find it amazing that people find the need to be out in the flooding.
Many were just going to work and had no idea this was happening until they got caught up in it.

Thanks for the high-quality coverage. Better than news.
Great attitudes from the guys who helped the stranded drivers, kudos to them. ♡ A moral support from Jakarta/Indonesia, where I have experienced similar if not worst rainfalls. It lifts the spirit if we have a sense of humor in such events (e.g. we have an instant water boom park :-) It's also important in the aftermath of such events that you still need to help those who are worse off. Pray for strength and soon recovery.
Welcome to Florida's yearly weather situations... Best advice I can give is help one and another without hesitation or judgement. Be kind and remember its not just you but all your community, county and such. Programs, numbers and help will be slammed and you will feel like no one is helping but they are!!!
