    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.

    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.

    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.

      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. If they can call their friends on the phone, it's much better judgement than being out in the deep water.

    Great attitudes from the guys who helped the stranded drivers, kudos to them. ♡ A moral support from Jakarta/Indonesia, where I have experienced similar if not worst rainfalls. It lifts the spirit if we have a sense of humor in such events (e.g. we have an instant water boom park :-) It's also important in the aftermath of such events that you still need to help those who are worse off. Pray for strength and soon recovery.
