00:00It looks to me like if it was flooded yesterday and it's completely clear today and nobody was

00:19hurt, New York's doing fine. I left work at about 715. I work right across the street.

00:25So when I got here to the 28th Street station, water was already coming up. And so I walked

00:3134th Street. When I got to 34th Street, the train was running. Once I got on the train,

00:37the train stopped at 103rd Street and I waited there for about 45 minutes before I ended up having

00:42to just take a cab home because that was the only option for me to get home last night. So I got home,

00:47it took me about two and a half hours to get home last night. I mean, it's not the first time that

00:51it floods. I've been working here for 11 years. So whenever there's like massive rain, we know

00:56that this station is not going to be working. I hope that we can fix it because it was quite

01:01an inconvenience for me last night to get home. Just the inconvenience because I did leave work

01:06like at seven and I wanted to get home by eight o'clock so I could make dinner and at least put

01:11my daughter to bed last night and I wasn't able to do so last night. But I did see all the videos

01:15online. It looked really, really bad. Uh, I mean, there's a lot of, a lot of open areas that water

01:24get in. Like, I don't think anything's really going to change for a while. Uh, yesterday was, I know,

01:28it's like the heavy storms that just suddenly actually just comes in. We know actually the storm

01:32comes, but actually it's, we didn't get any warning. So actually we actually didn't prepare it just well

01:38for those ones, I believe. And here's New York City. It's like supposed to have a good, actually,

01:42the infrared is not too big to float it.
