Cars Floating on Wall Street

As the evening high tide was drawing closer, there were reports of flooding in several low-lying areas around the five boroughs, places that had not in recent memory experienced flooding. In Lower Manhattan, water crossed South Street, and cars would be seen floating on Wall Street on television screens at the ConEd headquarters. In Brooklyn, water had piled back onto Van Brundt Street — which flooded during the morning high tide — well in advance of the evening high water mark. At 7:25 p.m., Ninth Street in Gowanus was a nearly uncrossable river of water.

1. wonder if the RW will be ok if we bail out Wall Street this time

or if they'll scream about it this time too

2. The insurance companies are going to take it in the shorts after this storm

They're the ones that will need to be bailed out.

3. Housing went under water and Wall Street did not care

11. Hand the Banksters buckets and let them bail it out themselves.

That should keep them out of mischief for a while.

although they don't appear to be floating, or Bentleys. Perhaps the expensive cars got elevators.

9. Gowanus isn't a river of "water".

The canal overflowed earlier today.
