  1. I thought you people had power and control of climate change why would you people do this? 😂

  2. They wanted to give $50 to go to NYC, to bring some groceries from Westchester, glad I said no.. Can you imagine the traffic n flooding you have to get through..

  3. Thanks sky (earth) your humble respect and credit for my normal existence . (about my role in virus Times and other things ect.)

    It brought tears on my eyes.

    Now I'm little happy.

    Day before yesterday I cried thanks to ungratfull evil jorks.

  4. I don’t understand why people just don’t stay home -and get on the subway with 3 feet of water on the tracks

  5. So all Russia has to do is send a underwater nuke like they said. Then it would be all radioactive 😊😅😅

  6. Hey Lester, I hope you are not affected by the flood. To all New York, I feel for you.

  7. Hopefully they don't come here. In Rhode Island, I see too many New York and New Jersey license plates.

  8. Using the subway during a flood? Sounds like a great idea! 🤦🏽‍♀️

  9. Illegal invading immigrants need not be worried, you will be well taken care of,
    As for the citizens,you're on your own,

  10. All the flood water rushing thru the streets of NYC will not be able to clean the stench of the city created by the Democrats.

  11. Yet again … federal disaster funding from last year's flooding never used to improved any drainage conditions or flood control in the area … makes you wonder where the money actually goods once received … time and time again states across the nation get federal assistance to deal with these problems that they never address

  12. What are all the migrants doing while it's flooding?

  13. Will the normal Friday night looting be suspended?

  14. It’s washing out all the illegal immigrants , back to there countries 😂

  15. Think you can go through floodwaters? Think again because it’s not worth your life.

  16. Not climate change due to your car…. we are entering a grand solar minimum…..like the Dalton Minimum…… look it up

  17. I bet the rats are all over New York City.

  18. sharks are already looting

  19. New Jersey had deaths and missing persons. Prayers with their families. I was in a flash flood due to poorly maintained manholes, vulnerable people were passengers with me. It was only a few feet of water, but the power of it pushing our car backwards and downwards will remain with me forever. Thank fully some good people (college age) came out of a pizza place and pushed us to a safe place. It was a very long evening, the car was never the same but we were unharmed. AMEN!

    Shame on the Mayor!!!!!! Schools were open?! He is insane!???!!!!

  21. if you think this is the result of climate change then you’re wrong

  22. Take this and all other weather extremes we've had that are record breaking as a wake up call. If we don't change the way we treat our planet, whether rich or poor nations, there will be no nations left because there will be no humanity left.

    And I'm sure there will be some that disagree, so please, do a lot of research and come up with your own conclusion, as I have done.

    We are destroying the only home we have.

  23. GET RID OF THE GARBAGE AND START WITH GOVENOR AND MAYOR.

  24. GODS WARNING ALL OF US. BABYLON

  25. "The day after tomorrow" what is next snow?

  26. Two many evil people in there. Need more rain to flush them away!

  27. US news videos have the most parasitic people here and bots in the comment section! Amazing!

  28. What happens to the homeless and the migrants that arrived to NYC in recent months? Where do they shelter from the flood?

  29. Hope you are enjoying the after wrath of homosexual marriages

  30. Not making up to a million before retirement is unfulfilled retirement.!! I’m 54 and my wife 50 we are both retired with over $7 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock and forex market made it possible for us this early, even till now we earn weekly.

  31. So Iam kind of worried for those big sewer rats

  32. Climate change, yea of course

  33. Poor infrastructure
    Never fix anything in 200 years
    More rats..New York is called cement city
    Clean your sewers and add more sewage system it would help a lot.

  34. Capitalism is causing the world to shift it's climate and yall gonna die for it.

  35. They're ruining their wheel bearings driving in that. Ughh.

  36. Climate Change is not real! Kick rocks!

  37. So when you are trying to emergency evac with your electric car and need to charge for 20 min standing in water up to your fender , ill be waving at you after it takes me 60 seconds to gas up and roll out. And I won't be handling high current standing in water like a fool.
