How are you coping? Are you near the floods? Keeping safe?

Hey, things are okay, calm most of the day save the driving rains, I'm not in the flooded zones, but very close nearby. I'm keeping safe, but the city is a mess, subways are trashed. My neighborhood is central BK and has decent drainage...so I'm okay. Thanks for asking ^_^.

We have severe floods in Australia and NZ use to when I grew up. I saw the subways and that was unbelievable and going to take a while to sort through once the rains stop! What a messy few years we are all having.

The Pisces lives in New York, now I’m worried sick about him after seeing the footage but we haven’t been talking 😩

He'll be aight, most of the city's millions were/are tucked away safely.

That’s good to know, I wouldn’t have a clue what your landscapes Are like there. It’s in my bucket list to visit one day.

Well... the city consists of the 5 boros but 4 out of 5 are on Islands:

Only the Bronx (the Bx) is on the actual mainland...Most of the city is low lying though at about ...33 feet thats about 10m above sea level... so when it flooded the majority of it was along the coast and in the Subways...and areas that are downhill...so some interior streets turned into rapids but...for the most part the areas that flooded were along the coasts like Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, Jamaica, Queens (Both neighborhoods are along Jamaica Bay) and Rego Park which is next to an outlet (inlet?) of the East River.

I’d hate to have been in Suffolk County.

I was born in New York. My grandmother is still up there along with some cousins. I haven't heard anything bad yet but will check up on them. I saw some footage and I've always wondered what would happen if something like this happened and the place flooded like an apocalypse event.

I saw some footage and they say these types of floods happen every few years and it's as common as hurricanes in Florida.

Saw footage of rats swimming 😲 😵 Just crazy! I hope they can clear out these flooded streets and tunnels soon! Stay safe!
