NYC is in a hell of water.
Sandy, in terms of the geographic area having been flooded, is a child’s play compared to this.
Car garages, apartments, streets and buildings that had no flooding during Sandy, have now 2 feet of water or more from end to end.
Sad and somber moment in Brooklyn as 4 Torah Scrolls (the 5 books of Moses written on parchment and considering the holiest item in Judaism) are removed from a synagogue submerged in water.
The Torah Scrolls are damaged. If they are beyond repair, they will be buried. That’s the respectful way of parting ways with Torah Scrolls. (Every Mon, Thur, Saturday and on holidays a portion of it is read out loud during prayers; on a schedule to be read in full once a year).
🚨 🚨 🚨🚨🚨
Tonight is the first two times ever that the @NWS for the NY area needed to issue flash flood emergency alerts.
Swimming in the flood— a vehicle with a person in it.
NYC:
MADNESS! A NYC train pulls into a flooded subway station; stops; at least one person gets off and then the train moves on. #nycflood #nycsubway
Off the bucket list.

This video was taken 15 minutes ago of the Bronx River Parkway (audio says Hutchison by mistake).
It’s indeed a river, and also a parkway for many vehicles.
