What caused it? Busted water main? Lots of our mains are over 100 years old, shits be poppin' on the regular.

Might be interesting to research just how many have broken through the years.

Naturally, the water runs downhill but doesn't look like the tracks are flooded. Yet. I've seen that and it's wild.

I think is raining heavily up there because I see flash flood warning’s

Nah, bro. It's not raining that heavily. In fact it's barely raining at all where I am. That volume of water doesn't come from rain. Lemme do some checking.

Okay. Turns out it was the rain. I've never seen it that bad unless a drain or two was blocked. Something smells fishy. I've been riding the subway my whole life and I've seen worse rain and it never affected the subway like that.

Shits unde the water table it's nothing new, and bottom line nature always wins so sometime in the future that whole city will be submerged even if they damn it up and hold the water back NYC's fate is up to mother nature.

New York subways with barometers to measure their elevation, and produced a 2008 report for the MTA, warning that many lines would flood with a storm surge of between seven and 13 feet. He urged policymakers to “muster the courage to think the almost unthinkable” and install flood defenses while considering whether, over the long term, climate change might necessitate radical alterations to the transit system, like moving back to elevated tracks. In 2011, while working on a government panel, Jacob produced a study that mapped how subway tunnels would be inundated in the event of a hurricane. The next year, he was proved right. After Sandy, Jacob was hailed as a prophet.

• New York has experienced at least a foot of sea-level rise since 1900, mostly due to expansion of warming ocean water.

Sea-level rise poses a significant risk to New York's people, resources and economy. Especially when levels are rising rapidly, communities and individuals need science-based projections to evaluate risks and plan for adaptation.

Rising sea levels from man-made climate change could prompt devastating, 8-foot floods that used to occur once every 500 years to happen once every 5 years by 2030 to 2045, the research said.

"Flooding in the nation’s largest city will be much higher and more frequent because sea levels will continue to rise at an accelerating rate," the study said.

If they've shutdown service then there is water on the tracks. I was victimized once using NYC subway, looks like deja vu.

I don't think you get around NYC too much....
subways in flood zones and hill areas always flood during real heavy rain (+2 inches /hour)

They didn't install these in the Bx and Qns as art

same for Manhattan

Yes, I didn't deny they've shutdown some service; what I said was there's something fishy going on. Rain or flood surges never effected service like this before.

I'm down there all the time. All over. And I have intimate knowledge of the subway. I'm telling y'all something doesn't add up.

It was steady rain all night and after 7a til just before the sun broke out for 5 mins after 10a or 11a -it was raining cats and dogs

nah man - you may go around- but you ain't really getting around... every heavy rain causes problems - since early 2000s

in the 80s and 90s flooding wasn't a persistent problem, but some time after 2002 every heavy rain started to cause excessive street and subway flooding in more areas- before then I only saw flooding like that in hoods near wetlands/ swamp by JFK or College Point

Hurricane Sandy was the storm that got everyone attention to this problem but you are right the rain and the flooding started in the early 2000’s and got worse ever since

As for the weather there's not much anyone can do about it. I'm presently in Florida that storm affecting NYC today is the same storm that was stretching from the Gulf of Mexico into Canada. Had our taste of it yesterday. These storms we're seeing today are intense and enormous and they appear to be increasing in size and intensity.

Some would say its a sign of "the last of days."

It's really quite amazing that you would know where I go and what I do.

The fact of the matter is, I know for certain why the subways now flood the way they do. What my travels have to do with that I've no idea.

Hopefully it will wash away the piss smell but I doubt it.

 

[Agent-Buckwall]

Man listen that shit was pouring this morning. I got soaked! My shit is still wet. smh

 

[HAR125LEM]

I was at that station on 145TH and Broadway this morning trying to run up to TARGET.
There were at least 20 MTA guys there. And all they did was put a few sandbags at the top of the station.
Shit was like a river.

I know that stop very well... That was my old stop for like 5 years. 145th and Broadway is on the top of a hill, thus for the life of me I can't understand where that water was running from. The sewers must have been unable to hold the volume or been backed up.
