Thank you guys so much for watching, if you enjoy content like this please consider subscribing and sharing the video so I can continue to produce fully independent documentaries/reporting, just like this.
Also, if the drone video catches your eye, my partner @wxchasing is responsible for those jaw dropping shots. You can see more raw video from this flood on his channel.
He said it's WINDY too - NO it isn't ‼️
Yes I love when people push the climate change lie 😂 please😂
Thanks for putting together this day in the life
So kind of you to help others God bless you brother from India
And parts of the country (like Texas) has seen only 1 decent rainfall in 3 months! Dry as a bone down there.
Absolutely brilliant compilation of an actual event!
Thank you! It’s how I am trying to provide an alternative to traditional media
Nixr
Good
👍
Nice
Never ever dig out a drain with bare hands, could be needles.
Yea, most the time it's clogged with trash.
Those 4 men are angels! Especially the stocky man in all black that said he was working from home. His wife came home and told him it was bad outside so he decided to go outside and help. He is the definition of adorable. No really, if you look in the dictionary under “adorable”, there is a picture of him. ❤️
I live in Brooklyn, in the area you filmed. I cried watching this video. We are one floor up but my downstairs neighbors flooded and we helped them. I went to Prospect Park yesterday after 8 straight days of rain. It was sunny and everyone was happy but everyone was talking about the rain and how scary it was. Seeing this helps me realize how dangerous it was. I’m so thankful that I’m OK and that I didn’t choose a garden apartment.
Glad you and your neighbors are ok!
Garden apartment?!! What sort of newspeak is this? I thought they were basement or subfloor apartments which of course come with a high flood risk.
@@MsMesem That's NYC Realtor speak. Also know ''square foot'' applies to their shoe size not a standard ruler.
@@stevena.7022 So why is this guy using that term? Is that his main revenue source? Hmmmm...
@@MsMesem street level apartments are called garden apartments in nyc lol google it
They brag about weather modification but some still insist this is all nature.
I guess i can look at historical data and meteorological info about this event and come to the conclusion it was caused by a cut off low pressure system during a month that historically brings some of the wettest days to NYC
Is it just a coincidence, this has occurred twice under Obama/Biden, but not once under Trump?
So sad for the ones who live in basement apartments!
Unfortunately, that is something to consider when moving into an apartment. Live below the flood line, and it happens.
yeahhh if they survive they have to clean the gutter they live in
🙁🙁🙁
They should have taken precautions.
Ouch. Good bye Cheers.
Jonathan, thank you for the incredible film footage you put together in this documentary short. And, thanks for helping some of the folks you came across during the filming. What you captured on film clearly shows just how ill-prepared many cities, towns and hamlets are when it comes to proper water/sewage drainage. Thanks again.
Thank you! I think it’s important to document and show a real, raw look at these disasters so people maybe will learn and prepare for a future one. Hype hurts so often, I am just trying to offer an alternative to traditional media
This is a powerful piece of storytelling - especially given the speed with which you brought it to UA-cam. You tell a compelling story and stay out of the way of the camera. This is clearly about the people featured and not so much about you and your reactions. THe scenes of strangers coming together to solve problems in real time with real consequences is good medicine for so many feelings of division and conflict in the majority of media and mindset these days. How they bent their backs and pushed with mighty force to calmly escort the stalled cars to shallower waters was inspiring. Also, your conversation with the woman reaching into the muck with her bare hands to clear the drains and your conversation and suggestion that she take a shower soon was telling. It might be gross to go further into it but I think necessary for people to understand how much waste, sewage and other dangerous things are swirling about at their ankles in these situations. Blessings on you and all New Yorkers.
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching!
Electric cars can get water in the battery and can burst into flames up to 2 weeks later. Happened in Florida after the hurricane.
yeah man, were doomed
That was mainly due to salt water intrusion, but you are correct. Can't rule that out in this situation either.
It’s a really good thing gasoline isn’t flammable
Yes that's a fact!
@@jrheritagasoline won't self ignite though
Two years ago, 200 people drowned in a flood in Germany because no one felt responsible to warn or even evacuate the population. That is why it is still so important that people help each other and take care of each other. ❤
Yes under Biden the last 3 years nothing but floods 2021-22-23 before that 1967
The government does it. They don't want people to know about their weather modification.
@Germany
Climate change, aka Global Warming, due to reckless, careless, non environmental, inconsiderate,non true Christian human activities ❗☝🏾📖🙏🏾
Humans need population control, just like plants , animals and . Microbes have it.
Dont always get a chance to evacuate,in the s west uk Devon had flash floods within an hour places were under water.
@@MelissaR784Unfortunately those bureaucrats have forgotten where they came from and what their job is about.
People are too distracted.
It always takes a disaster for New Yorkers to work together but when they come together like this, they are world class. Respect.
Huge props to you for helping those people push their cars. That's immensely nice.😊
I love how ----- no matter how deep and quickly flowing the water becomes ----- there are always some knuckleheads in vehicles thinking, "Yeah! All right! We can do this!" and then they all end up having to be rescued.
Not to mention the expensive repair bill that will not be covered by their warranty!
Some? Looked like alot
Expensive lesson when the engine hydrolocks bending a rod or going right through the block.
poor cars getting obliterated
People are dumb.
Amazing how all the network news don't show all the awesome people helping each other, they only focus on the drama and negativity. Your video is the first time I feel good as you go around talking to people, I even had a huge urge to go help too but I'm in Wisconsin. Thank you for being a human!!!!
Thank you! I am trying to be an alternative for many reasons
That’s because network news is made to keep people feeling confused, angry and depressed…good news would do the opposite.
This is how WE ACTUALLY TREAT EACH OTHER that's why Im NEVER leaving.
💗
@@JonathanPetramala you are the best !
I’m glad you helped
No one expects rainfall like this so they don’t have protective clothing
Walking around in floodwater in normal clothing can cause people to get very sick
Many people don’t realize that floods don’t just happen from blocked storm drains, the drainage areas can be so flooded that the sewage mixes with the rain water and flows throughout a large area above ground
This is an excellent point. Never wade through flood waters if you don't have to!
No one one expects anything! Because a big part of our global society is ignorant, and the leadership of big corporations and in politics that does know cold care, but doesn't - for the sake of short-term benefits and growth. Yet, humanity got warned in 1972 by the Club of Rome, or Rachel Carson. We could have done a lot in this 50 years. And now we start to see the results. Simple physics! Expect more storms and heavier floods, in the future!
What a lovely group of gentlemen! It’s nice to know that “good neighbors” still exist!!!
I have to give you NYers credit: everyone videoed seems to have a good attitude, rolling with the challenges, and helping each other out in the process. God bless you guys, and hope none of you suffered overwhelming damage.
They are seriously some of my favorite people to interview. #1 will always be Cajuns south of I-10 in Louisiana though.
@JonathanPetramala yes I know a ton of people from Louisiana. I honestly felt they were not prepared and obivouous to the true danger they were in. This girl saying she saying she was rushing to get to work is crazy, I'm sorry I'm calling in and not risking my life or vehicle.
Thank you Donal Trump. Or may a Qanon type. @@lit22006
We NYers definitely know how to roll w it and help who we can along the way.
@@lit22006 you must be a MAGAt, only they could say something so profoundly stupid
What you guys did helping others is amazing. This world is full of good people. We only hear about the awful ones.
VERY TRUE....I TEND TO FORGET THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME GOOD PPL OUT THERE!!!!!
I agree. ❤
Yes!! Helping but also very nice! 💓
It’s what makes the news…the bad that people do…
Over here in Germany it is getting worse with people. Sometimes I think, we need a bigger (global?) catastrophy, so people wake up and realize, we have to work together.
Great recap, Jonathan! Awesome to see so many out there helping during such a serious flood event. Always a pleasure working with you to get the word out from the field!
I appreciate you guys supporting my independent journalism!!!

“Turn around. Don’t drown.” We are used to unexpected flooding, hurricanes, and tornadoes in the south. New York has my prayers, though. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
We get plenty of flooding in NYC. It’s not just down south. Most people are not driving into the flood. My sister drove her car out of the flood, and yes, it might have stalled doing that. But where it was parked was so washed out by Hurricane Sandy, everyone had to do there best to try and get out and help each other out.
The craziest thing about this is seeing that old blockbuster sign. 😊
Yeah, I was wondering, how long has that storefront been empty? A decade or more?
I absolutely respect you helping out the people whose cars died, even after being warned by you to not go there.
I'm sure many others would've went "Told ya so, tough luck". You looked past that, which is rare.
i flooded my engine b4 it was a flash flood and the intersection 2 feet under water. luckily bmw sent a tow truck and uber to get me.
Only city people drive in flood water 😂
Should've parked 1 car sideways to block the road

CITY MAINTENANCE is supposed to clean the STORM drains regularly‼️
Am I the only one who NEVER sees that being done anymore❓
Meh. You live on a swamp.
Still gonna keep sending you bus loads of your new neighbors.
Your mayor and city Democrats don't care for you.
@@mutiny_on_the_bounty Those with intellectual poverty always troll, keep it up mental midget
No, this is NOT normal for NYC, I have NEVER seen anything like this in my entire 56 years of living.
We don’t get rain like this is NYC. It’s normal just sprinkles and stops.
Do you think clean storm drains could have handled this amount of rain?? Um no! I live in an area that floods easily when there is this amount of rain falling at this rate, the drains just can’t handle it. I saw first hand in Ida when I lost my basement.
Wait 'Blockbuster' @ 01:28? I thought they were extinct. On a more practical note, get out of the cities, prepare for it to get much worse.
I had to laugh at that Blockbuster sign. That's got to be an extremely old sign. Very weird though.
ALWAYS rolling up their sleeves and helping each other .
I ❤ NY
It is nice to see that people really help each other and nobody has a bad mood.
Until they realise all those cars are write offs...
Thats because the Left Wing Liberal News makes us look like WILD ANIMALS and VICTIMS. WE ALL GET ALONG MOST OF THE TIME but you wont see that on nbc or cnn.
ok
It was encouraging to see someone actually clearing the storm drains. Flood water management works wayy better when it's not clogged with garbage.
Yep! I don't mind clearing them before major storms on my street but people come out acting guilty af.
We get too much lightning to go out during the rain and prevention helps. The city would require repeated drain clearing.
Exactly! It goes beyond that, too... it's important to pick up garbage anytime you see it. When the floods come, it all gets washed into the drains and clogs them up. Pick it up before it causes a problem.
This is why this happened. LOL at people crying climate change, when NYC has one of the worst sewage systems in the entire US.
@@cocohonso Sure, it's the clogged drains. Not the exorbitant RECORD HIGH amount of rain. Get your head out of your ass. This summer was filled with climate disasters in EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF THE WORLD. But, no. It's the drains. 🙄
NY has bring back the "No garbage throwing law back into effect"
This is so heartbreaking.
I hope and pray for everyones safety.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love that you are helping people and not just recording . My prayer goes to people living in basement. Believe me you will remember it for the rest of your life and I hope in a good day and there is nothing you can do let nature do its job and enjoy it.
Loved the woman cleaning the storm drains, so genuine and caring. Awesome video Jonathan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
army, firefighters and police are taking a weekend break, how about the plunge protection team and social workers and FEMA, all having a break from work🤣
Refreshing to see someone behaving neighborly during a disaster
I am fortunate to see it often in these storms
this wouldn't happen if certain people stop playing god ! geo **gineer***
HAARP
I think new yorkers should be more neighborly and accept a small portion of what southern states have been dealing with. They are humans and deserve your compassion and acceptance.
this is not a disaster anymore, in a few weeks there will be more water.
This is because of the burning of fossil fuels
We had similar flooding here in Vegas last month. Record rainfall already this year with still 3 months left to go.
It's beyond frustrating that the people who are in the worst spots, won't receive any help. People who have to live in low end apartments definitely don't have the ability to get insurance coverage, or any sort of support for a situation like this. It's the biggest issue with our modern society and the way things function. It's the average person who's getting hit the hardest and unable to get options because the average working person can't afford options, let alone afford basic living as it is... i really hope things improve. Especially with the rise of more and more issues... it's really frustrating
I can watch people like you, a human being, helping other people just like you. Everyone coping together. The basement apartment thing is terrifying.
Here in Minnesota, it's the same with snow every 20+ years. Disaster. We need each other. Well done, sir.
😂🤣
The scary thing is, some people don't want any help and want to be left alone. Such people have been known to be aggressive against people trying to help. I've witnessed it before.

Thanks for the sub! If you see my channel, this is what I focus on and I try to offer an alternative to traditional media
New Yorkers always seem to carry a smile on during times of a disaster
They also have fired many of the city workers who refused to take the jab or they retired because they didn’t want to take it and they have not been taking care of the drains or the excessive garbage.
Good for them. It’s way more dangerous that a bit of water.
People should be warned that driving through deep flood water can short out the car's entire electrical system. It's very dangerous at night because you can't tell how deep it is. You won't be able to unlock the doors or roll down any windows and you get trapped. If the car drifts into deeper waters, you will drown. If you ever find yourself in this situation, break the glass of the door with a blunt object - or remove the headrest from your seat. Most importantly, aim at the corners of the glass. Stay safe out there.
Good tip!
Amazing video!! Great editing!! Thanks brother!!🙏
Glad you liked it!!
Horrible to have to deal with that event. We were there visiting in July and can't believe this has happened. Good on you for documenting it and helping out.
Thank you!
These new-yorkers are fantastic : They keep cool and smiling despite the damages caused by the floods. Respect !

It amazes me how every single person, even the ones who just flooded their cars or were losing their homes, were so genuinely kind and compassionate and willing to talk. People often talk about NYC being an uptight, kinda mean place, but there was and is real empathy happening. Kudos for getting people's experience.
It’s important to document and show, people 99% of the time are so kind during bad situations like this
The one thing I’ve always loved about NYC is the resilience in its people during times of urgency. The kindness in those gentleman helping out was heartwarming to see. Many blessings to them. Heartbreaking to see all that damage.
It shouldn't take a tragedy for people to help. And no New Yorkers don't help. There was a guy who was stabbed and people literally walked past him without calling 911. A lady was stabbed on the train and nobody helped.
@@darkpisces8125 New Yorkers DEFINITELY help but sometimes it a life or death situation and it would be stupid to rush into 2 other men's fight like a vigilante or something. most ppl won't jump into an existing fight unless they know they can win/win sides so I don't expect the average guy to stand up and start enforcing subway justice on a moving train car. idk what the point of ur comment is. ppl have helped me in many ways so many times here

Any car that got stalled is totaled. Maybe not today, but either the engine will throw a rod due to water it took in, or the electronics will start to go wonky. Speaking from experience. Or more likely they'll be sold used and the new owners will be screwed in 1 or 2 years or so when their cars stop working.
Great video, much better than local news coverage.

Thank you so much for showing this. The kindness and goodwill and sheer determination of the NY people to go about their business as usual is heart warming. I hope there is help for those in the basements to get over this disaster. Maybe a time for those car/boat combinations that never really came to anything when they were invented.
This looks like the movie the day after tomorrow
Its all fake tthe libs are AI generated.

Those who helped are really to be commended.
Huge respect to you for helping those people’s cars during the heavy rain and floods. This is what I love about New Yorkers, is that they’ll they come together and help one another out. Hope you guys pull through this difficult time

Walking in deep water is also unsafe, due to unseen dangers in the water, and pollutants from cars, etc. Where I live (all my life), we have normally had severe flooding every summer through the monsoon season, so I know the dangers.

I see a car floating in a lake of water, I don't attempt it, a New Yorker sees a challenge. I'm just shaking my head.

@@matthodel946 wow! Glad they were ok this time! I hate to say it but they might consider looking to sell. Each day it doesn’t flood is luck at this point.
It's nothing money can't fix. It's a historic brownstone that did a historic remodel to, but I live a mile higher than you guys in Denver. Even the flooding is crazier here, mostly due to the change of soils from sandy to more organic and it affects the permeability of the soil's ability to take on water.
You need to understand that your sewer and storm drain system in New York are combined, so the flood waters are not good to be in. It is surprising just how many cities still have this system.

From Brazil here in Sao Paulo I have seen some, but for the past 10 years it is getting worse. I always found the under the level apartments kinda charming in NYC suburbs, actually most houses looks like it siding with doors. Now see it underwater is heart braking.
The amount of mold leftover from this is going to be wild…
But rent is still going to be $10k a month
You remained calm and did an excellent job at giving stressed out and overwhelmed drivers directions when their cars were pushed.
You are a great journalist!🙏🏻
How small is man in the face of nature-the small worms that never learns-that we are nothing but dust...
Stressed? We call that a-holes like that Audi driver knew she was taking the risk driving dangerously fast

Welcome to Florida's yearly weather situations... Best advice I can give is help one and another without hesitation or judgement. Be kind and remember its not just you but all your community, county and such. Programs, numbers and help will be slammed and you will feel like no one is helping but they are!!!
New Englanders know how to pull together when Mother Nature does her thing!!
My Prayers goes out to these people in NYC.
I've lived in south-central Texas my whole life, and flooding is common where I'm at ... Rules for water over roads: 1. Don't go in it, 2. If you must, go slowly, and 3. Never take your foot off the gas ... It's quite frightening stall your car in deep water, even more so when you feel it begin to float - - Very nicely done video
They we caught
don’t waste your time, “for 24 hours weather models show “… and then tds…. just like the ones in Florida who act surprised when there’s a hurricane every year….
Jonathan that was an amazing video and I live in Suffolk County and only got 2 1/2 inches of rain. Always enjoyed watching your videos
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate you following along! Glad your place is ok!
'Those guys' are what good neighbors, neighborhoods and men are all about.
