Nightmare at Grand Central and LaGuardia as floods inundate NYC | NBC New York

- It wasn't just New York City commuters who had to deal with flooding Friday morning - even those looking to fly out of the city had to deal with flooding conditions.
LaGuardia Airport's Terminal A was forced to close down entirely before 11 a.m. after the building itself flooded as a result of the heavy rain.
It's been devastating to see the impact of the recent flooding in New York. I can't help but think about how it's affecting people's finances
Absolutely. The flood has caused significant property damage, and I'm sure many people are facing financial hardships.
I've heard about a financial advisor who specializes in disaster recovery. Has anyone here had experience with them?
Yes, I've worked with them. They've been instrumental in helping people affected by the flood and natural disasters occurring in these trying times.
That's intriguing. Can you share more about how they've been assisting people during this difficult time?
Certainly. They start by assessing the financial impact of the flood on individuals and businesses. They help them navigate insurance claims, access government assistance programs, and develop a financial recovery plan.
Dang NY is flooding like Florida! Can you imagine how much work can be done to repair/improve the infrastructure of our cities if we did not have politicians who increase their personal wealth by investing in the same military contractors they hand billion dollar NO BID CONTRACTS every year, to pay for their FOR PROFIT WARS?
Yeah, it's the politicians that caused the flood OH no they didn't make the city flood-proof it's more like the idiots all of us humans are who refuse to do anything about global warming going back to when we first realized we needed to and now it's too late.
Yea. One can wish I suppose. It's America though. Greedy politicians and greedy corporations at the core
Yep and they keep stuffing their pockets while they shift the blame to global warming instead like you said improve infrastructure. I'm starting to believe that America's political pale in comparison to the Mafia of the 20th century in corruption.
True, also the population has grown way too fast… it’s a combination of things it’s not as easy as throwing money at the problem…
Haarp
I hope everyone is alright I hate it for the people that live in basement apartments
Flooding is the worst 😢
I hope they are covered by flood insurance 😬
So, LaGuardia had 11 years between Hurricane Sandy and yesterday to engineer a way to prevent flooding. 11 years - zero effort.
I wouldn’t want to live anywhere where an Uber drive could cost $200
Well, as bad as it may be, look on the bright side ....maybe the city won't smell like piss so much now! Think of it as a real good cleansing!
Live in a toilet it gets flushed like a toilet
Not if the sewers don't work. And apparently, NYC has a lot of four feet rats underground and two feet overground; so you all would be sharing the mess together if the water doesn't "frash" fast enough! Be careful New Yorkers!
one disaster after another
Sanctuary city!! Enjoy your illegal immigrants and floods waters. But the arrogant New Yorker's attitude is we're tough and been through this before.
Who cares about New Yorkers
New York is falling apart!
Literally and figuratively
Judgement
It’s a blue city 🤷🏻♀️ whoda guessed 🤭
why is NO ONE talking about the power grid going down???
I wonder if all that water in these buildings will affect the integrity of the foundation or structure
Did any of the NY weather reporters NOT predict this record rainfall?
cant imagine the amount of mold after a subpar rushed surface cleanup to resume capitalism
Ikr
I wonder what the Unseen Damages to foundations would be?
I would imagine sinkholes caused by broken sewer pipes would be #1 on the list.
Really bad 😂
European cities with canals through them have zero impact on foundations, even with water in constant contact with them 24/7/365. Don't concern yourself.
Don't ask. Just leave. Don't find out the hard way.
But I think most of that area is on top of bedrock (whatever THAT means)
The whole nyc is sinking
You can still get mugged all over NYC.
Lol, NO you can't!
Marine terminal is full of art deco architecture from PAN AM days and is beautiful
now its really a marine terminal. HAHAHA F the stupid NYers. First the migrant floods now this. They deserve both because of their voting habits.
Prayers for New York
3 billion spent on that Airport in the last 4 years!
$200?!! See? NYC is not the place to be in a disaster scenario. 😳😖 God forbid anyone went into labor and had to get to a hospital today.
New York City is a dangerous place to be for a lot of reasons. People don't come to NYC for safety.
Babies being born are on their own schedules. 😂
Water is pouring out of walls in subways... And we are diverting funds to take care of migrants from the third world countries... They are going to feel right at home with these *maintenance* conditions here
Gotta pray for Ukraine, right?
they're being put in a first class hotel.
@@manonamission2000 Rather pray then stand and clap for a "hero who fought for Ukraine" that turned out to be a Nazi like Canada's parliament did.
@@manonamission2000F C K the Ukraine
Maybe NY dumbs are finally being cleaned out? If so, that’s a good thing 😊
Raising car svc prices during a crisis is called “price gouging” and is illegal in states like Florida. NYC should pass a similar bill.
“Gauging” lol. Boomer spotted. Get off the Internet.
When I was evacuating my apartment due to incoming flood waters at midnight a couple years back, I couldn’t find an Uber or Lyft available. Thankfully I found one eventually and it cost me $100 to get to my friend’s apartment. I don’t even pay that much to ride to the airport. It was crazy. It’s basically New Year’s Eve pricing. That said, the driver risked his life driving me through partially flooded streets so I was happy to pay the fare. It was late too. My gripe is that most of that money doesn’t even go to the driver. I should’ve canceled my ride and just paid him in cash.
Price Gouging happens all.the time. It's still.illegal, even though people ignore that fact. People do whatever they want these days. It's really a shame.
NOT gouging AT ALL.They are charging for the RISK of damage to their vehicle, potentially risking stalling, vehicle flooding and total loss. Gouging pertains to ESSENTIAL items like food water and fuel. An Uber ride is not essential. Simple supply and demand.
@@shodanrich3317 BS. You sound like price gouger, to be completely honest. I guess you live by the old Doo what ya gotta doo philosophy. I sure hope any driver who price gouges individuals, also donates rides when he or she can. There is such a thing as Giving Back you know.
Wow what a mess
What happened to those living on the streets?😱
The mayor doesn’t care about them as far as he’s concerned they’re finally getting a shower
They were transferred to office buildings not filled to full capacity inspite of NYC major mandating few days of working in office
@@janeblue3053did you shower today?
Sailing into the ocean 🌊
Who's problem would that be? The almighty government? They're adults who made the choices that put them where they are. So long as they can get their fixes, they'll be just fine.
It’s not the first time is it?
Nope! Definitely not!😂
You have to wonder where your tax money is going.
Illegal immigrants that get to work in the us, also pay taxes. From whatever job they do. Just fyi
In “their” damn pockets obviously 😩
The Ukraine, of course.
10% for the big guy.
Illegal migrants
Who would want to get on a plane in this
It’s just rain.
The rain ends the high tide ebbs the water drains . Normal service will return .
Warm hugs and blessings to all N.Yorkers Amen.
🤬 you MTA. Your system has failed NYC more than I can count. Had to take $100 Uber ride back to Brooklyn because none of your 💩 trains was running.
They make such a big deal for a storm. 😂
Couldn't happen to a nicer place...maybe it'll slow crime for a day or two....naaaaaa!
It's okay guys Eric Adams just introduced a robo-cop. Clearly NYC leaders have their priorities straight
I just read a news article yesterday that NY is planning to build an extension of Manhattan Island down south, i don't know if it's even a good idea.
Wonder if they gave the illegals kayaks! Welcome to America!🎉
By "the illegals" you must mean legal IMMIGRANTS. Republicans are so stupid
Now they call it surge pricing, they used to call it price gouging😢
I feel really bad for all the Wendy's locations in that area. I hope everyone is alright.
are you sad fo wendy or you said fo not bein able to get a double later?
The bottom line for me, its a fact too, the NYC areas are so crowded and condese by now, that no amount of money/salary will ever make me move to those areas...EVER. I will commute back to Jersey even an hour, if need be. The hell with that place. Its like a ZOO.
Wow. 😔 There ain’t no way I’m taking any subway. Cluster phobic here. Would be thinking the worst the whole time. I’d be TRIPPN. Brave peeps out there.
Praying for folks in basement apartments as well. I cannot imagine. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My IQ dipped by 12 points from reading your whole comment.
Feel sorry for all those people in that flood who tries to go home. May GOD be all with you.
I was in Brooklyn last year now I am safely home. 🙏🏽
Home sweet home. Thank GOD.
I hope the infrastructure facilitator Pete Buttigieg is on the scene. It appears to me this is another infrastructure problem.
He's still on MATERNITY LEAVE...LOL❗️
ya right

Hopefully it washes away all the rats.
It sucks to be in New York right now
scientists promised that most of NYC will be underwater by 2008.
better late than never 🤷
Are the iligals sleeping there tonigh
they sleepin first class hotel as ordered by the mayor.
@@Rose-zz2rwDon’t blame the mayor, blame Sleepy Joe Biden
@@Wgaither1 And the mayor for not "returning" them to where all these illegals came from!
no floods in London guys
London is dead & boring so no one really cares!🙄
$200 is ridiculous!
Shake Shack is makin bank downstairs 💰
2:44 LMFAO at the SMART people going to the airport while it's flooded, believing there will be a magic flight waiting just for them.
there is always helicopters; no runway required.
The planes are in the air, they won't cancell a whole flight because nyc is flooded
@@calvinjohn26 lol, they will cancel the landing though; plane are not generally fitted with pontoons to land on water.
YTs are a stupid people. Mayo monkeys dont know how to deal with floods. Lesser species.
Here come the rats.....
Imagine if usa had money to fix infrastructure like about 40 billion dollars or 70 billion dollars 🤔
SORRY THEY'RE SENDING IT TO UKRAINE
First a flood of immigrants and now the real flood arrived
Only in New York 😂😂😂
Poor people! 😢🙏🏻
Gee, I can't imagine who's doing that....
Right
Golly, I bet you haven't found Waldo yet.
😁 Don't you just Love your " NYC" Seems Like Disasters are always around the corner. I'll just Live my boring uneventful Midwest Living. 😁🤷
No not boring!
You have a purpose, to serve God!
The migrants are nice and toasty in those hotels.
Controlled weather..
Ok I’m
Glad I don’t sound crazy and more
Get on the number 1 bus to Tuckahoe Road and Central Avenue….
Diseases. ☠️
This is a KEEP DRY message to you New Yorkers from DRY at the moment, Seattle!
Wow nothing like hurting people more when they already have problems. So sad money means more than people’s safety
What are you TALKING ABOUT? It's a damn flood. Money has nothing to do with it... Christ, people are dumb, and talk out of their butts.
Flood of migrants and now a flood of water. R.I.P New York City...
NYC ain’t dead yet
@@OllieRamone What else needs to be done to end the leftist cesspool?
So sorry for you all travellers. I waß delayed in NYC airport 24 hrs. So can empathize.
What a disgrace.
How about if people just stay home for a day or two?

Omg a New Yorker . That never happened to me now in Florida redo it Hurricanes tornadoes flooding it’s a scary world today. God bless you all and your bags just carry a life jacket just in case be prepared always you never know. God bless to all 🙏❤️
3:49 lol what a good sport she is
I thought they spent loads of $$$ on the new LGA to stop this exact thing from happening!
It's Grand Central Terminal not a station. Grand Central Station is the post office.
Just Import more illegal immigrants that will help
Sure they can mop up the water !!@
How are electric cars holding up?
Terrible!
You know why this is happening, right?
You should be looking at the sky 😮
@Iknowaboutroaches3350 Yeah, yeah, you've been claiming it was happening soon for 2000 years. Jesus said it would happen before his disciples died. I guess he lied then too.
They still don't get it.
@@boycott2720 Jesus never said that. He said He is coming soon. If you have ever read the Bible, you would come across a couple of verses that say that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord. Jesus did mention the signs of the end time and the Epistles speak of end time signs as well.
We see what’s coming outta the sky-the rain, silly! :-p
Coming Soon ™ Ad infinitum@@AndeH7
Blame your elected officials for letting this happen.
LOL because elected officials have control over the weather 🤡
@@LaFawnduh-td5qc No, the infrastructure is shit

$200 for a Lyft that the driver will get $60 on 🙄 Reedonkulous
The Gods Hate what NYC has become
Lets give 6 billion to ukraine
All everyone can do is pray for sunshine. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Serves New Yorker's right for allowing us to abandon our Yellow Taxis for corrupt Uber!!
We can send "BILLIONS and BILLIONS" of dollars to other countries, it rains and the subway and airport is on a halt.
All by design, unfortunately 😢
Keep voting Democrat.
I'm not exactly sure how people moving to one area and preventing water from flowing naturally and then living in flood zones has anything to do with that, but, go on...
God is trying to wash some of that filth away.
That has exactly been my thought.
🛑
My bf had a flight scheduled in the afternoon. It got delayed, then cancelled. Uber from the Bronx cost $70.
Shows how America will quickly degrade when TSHTF, esp in cities. Country folks are doing fine.
all those hip and trendy city slickers will be the first to get eaten once welfare checks stop coming in 🤡🍿
not even as bad as Beijing's lightest flooding last month
At least the NY subway is washed clean
Washed clean with shit water and suwage… sure clean
I'm not religious, but that might just be a biblical warning, lol.
Wait until a blizzard hits this upcoming winter. I'm in central Florida for the last 20 years. Grew up in alphabet city.
Are they trying to let this accumulate in specified places for future water problems. This would be a time for that if there ever was.
NYC must follow Mumbai who has championed dealing with tropical monsoons where flooding and heavy downpour is pretty common.
They are importing the applicable population.
The government is to blame for this. A big city like NY should be prepared for heavy rain.
@@timmytee734Florida with its endless hurricanes should always be prepared for theirs and then they end up flooded and now they're asking for a handout from the government. Torrential downpours are going to purchase massive flooding it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out as you were obviously not the best personal vibrator in the nightstand drawer with that logic.
Just a major train derailment where hundreds of people were killed in India they need to do something about their infrastructure and rail system.
@@timmytee734what a completely ignorant and uneducated comment. It's not about us being a big-city in being prepared. As with any torrential downpour things are going to flood just like anywhere else you know like Florida we should be prepared for hurricanes as I get them on a regular basis and yet each and every time they fail miserably.
The subways and platforms are below-ground therefore this is going to happen plus if you hadn't noticed we have a much greater infrastructure.
If anyone should be blamed it should be Florida they get hurricanes on a regular basis and yet each and every time they are always never prepared.
It wouldn't be 'merica if there wasn't massive price gouging during a catastrophe 🙄Also who the heck would take the subway when things are flooding?!?
This is not as much as too much rain as old infrastructure. Shocked and disappointed with NYC leadership.
$200 is nothing to a New Yorker. Quick crying so much. People there make that in a couple of hours.
What happened to American infrastructure? Went to Ukraine?
All is part of Joe's BBB remember? BUILD BACK BETTER! How is that working for you, New Yorkers!
The Simpsons did predict that New York will be underwater
Instead of the money of USD 24 B send to Ukr, it is better send it to NYC government to take care of the flood....😂😂😂
Sunday will be ok???
What about the Penn Station to Hudson, Rennselear, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs Amtrak service ?
Is that running normally ?
im sure bidens scamtrak is doing just fine yeah
I wish all the money that had been used in the Ukraine war could have been used to create a barrier system like in the Netherlands to manage the flood crisis...money wasted by Biden for the good for socioeconomic health of America 😢😢😢
Lol imagine blaming Democrats for the military industrial complex. 🥜 🧠
Stop blaming Democrats dude.
@@post13 don't matter if u are dem or rep...it takes 2 to tango 😀😀😀
So if we just let Russia take over Ukraine, that would...stop a catastrophic rainstorm? Interesting
None of the flooding came from the sea and a barrier system would do nothing
It looks a bit like tinkering with the atmosphere/weather has had undesired results.

I was there for Sandy. How the homeless doing now?
Sea is Rising definitely
