And The Sky Was Opened (NYC Thunderstorms)

Just got an email from BAM, calling off the screening of Stop Making Sense we were gonna go to tonight. Flooding down the house!

Take me to the river, drop me in the water

Water’s flowing underground but rapidly accumulating above ground

There is water at the bottom of the bus

hope everyone is ok, tiktok is showing rivers in the streets

Had houseguests who were supposed to drive upstate today but turned around after less than a mile due to floating cars.

a little under six inches in central park since midnight

just under two inches between 10-11am alone

Water dissolving and water removing

never seen anything like that in my life. quite the school run.

Really glad I no longer live in a basement in Park Slope. Hope everyone's ok.

Yeah I was thinking about the basement apartment dwellers especially in the areas where the water rise was over the sidewalk level

It’s especially bad considering how many basement apts are illegal and how many are the homes for undocumented people.

I walked around in wb/gp today and the aftermath seems blessedly less terrible than I expected

Some day a real rain, etc.

The Real Rain Roxanne

dried out by now I hope

LFG

Plumber has been trying to diagnose a long-standing leak over here, punched a hole in our wall just in time for this storm and now there is some kind of spray behind the plastic they put up over the hole which is leaking slowly onto the floor, feels like maybe is something draining from the roof.
