ANOTHER sudden hydro meteorological event in 2025]
And now back to the major flooding from yesterday's storm. 2 people killed in flood inundated neighborhoods in our area. Coverage this morning from Brooklyn
Those downpours turned deadly when 2 men were in their basements in separate boroughs, one in Brooklyn, one in Manhattan. But it's that flash flooding that took over and they could not be saved.
This is the scene in East Flatbush. The road turned to a river in moments, cars unable to get through. Police say the FDNY scuba team found a 39 year-old man in a flooded basement apartment unresponsive
The city's Department of Environmental Protection says the sewer system is only able to handle up to 1.75 inches of rain. The record rainfall just under 2 inches.
neighbor says the frustration is at an all-time high because their calls to the city for help have gone nowhere.
My 1:08 neighbors are trapped. Kids are unable to get home, cars are unable to pass…
1:40
From the FDR to the Belt Parkway to the L I E, the 1:42 coming down so quickly, those roads became impassable at points. Water more than bumper, high.
