#nycflooding — Public Fediverse posts

You should have heard the squealing this thing made as it sat (turned on) in sewer water. #NYCFlooding #NYCFloods

Friday's #NYCFlooding may have seemed like a rare event, and it was from a historical perspective. But as I write today:

Events like this will become common, with extreme heatwaves and rainfall events becoming routine and 100-year floods occurring annually, according to a pair of new studies and other recent research.

NYers rn: “If you are [now suddenly] interested in buying [flood insurance] coverage through the national program, you may have to wait: A shutdown of the federal government, which could happen Sunday morning, could cause the program to run out of money until Congress reaches an agreement to keep the government funded.” #ophelia #uspol #shutdown #NYCFlooding https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/29/your-money/what-new-york-homeowners-and-renters-should-know-about-flood-insurance.html

So frustrating that I need to go to Twitter to get up to date information about #NYCFloods #NYCFlooding
So, what are we going to do about that @Mastodon? 🤔

Watching videos of #NYCFloods #NYCFlooding and extremely concerned for people living in basement apartments. Usually the poor and marginalised. Horrific.

That's not "irony." That's exactly the kind of shit that protesters are warning us about.
