Consultants: You can fix this before it happens.

New York City: Nah, we are good. It's not in the budget.

I live in the middle on Queens NYC and we had a big storm with big puddles but thank god we survive and all of my family survive.That was the first nature disaster of me.I was 4 years old there.

R.I.P. to a lot of homeless people who live inside NYC's subway system!

Imagine being on the train to your destination and you look behind and see a mass of water racing towards the back of the train. Wyd?

There might be dead animals under all that shit water

I remember 1/2 of our block lost electricity for the week. Sadly, I was part of that 1/2. Very disappointing to live like a Neanderthal while watching the neighbors across the street watch tv at night.

Me: the subways flooded
My boss: you’re still coming to work, right?

I live in Nassau County and I did not have power for 11 days after Sandy. The LIRR had limited service. The biggest problem out here was the unavailability of gasoline. It was like wartime conditions. Even 5 years later its a grim memory.

[zilentzer]

I was 10 at the time when that happened. Goddamn, time flies fast, huh?

[porterijsseldijk]

Super creepy, you couldn't pay me a million bucks to go down there all alone

[GrahamAbraham]

Not only will the water be pumped up, but all that litter that was on the track beds and now is swirling around. The middle of those rail tracks shall be very clean...if littering stops.

I lost power for 11 days in Nassau County. Couldn't get any gas either. It was a pretty bad time. My power was restored by a crew from Quebec.

hmmmm yes, marathon is important, marathon is top priority, yes...

The 1 Train South Ferry 32nd street is a massive station. As it is right now, if it were flooded in its entirety up to the entrance, we're talking like 25-30 feet of water.

[ManMan-xtrj]

*I can just imagine a horrifying sea monster lurking under the shallow surface of the water.*

[realmynameshiro]

i remember watching this when it came out, googled pictures of sandy flooding subway stations and fast food restaurants

[raselrahman]

Hurricane is so scary I hope we never have hurricane but my mom said in 2012 there was a hurricane in ventnor and New York and Pennsylvania

[STAYSPERSONALFAN]
