12. Queens has flooded out before...Hurricane Sandy comes to mind.

Homes near the river destroyed, cars and people washed away, at least five people drowned in their cars or basement apartments, if I remember right.
Officials at the time were speculating a number of homeless were drowned and washed into the river by the flood current coming off the streetsand never found.
The water in those videos was at least 2 ft. deep at street level, and it looked fast. That's strong enough to drown you if you get pulled into the current and trapped under a car.
