The streets of New York, in the United States, have turned into real rivers and in the subway real waterfalls emerge from the oars. Since Monday, July 22, New York City has been in the throes of spectacular flooding. Heat records followed by violent thunderstorms and heavy rains led to immense flooding in the streets of “the big apple”. Manhattan, Queens, but especially Brooklyn, are the areas most affected by the rising waters.
On Twitter, disgruntled residents question the mayor of the city Bill de Blasio. Last March, it invested $ 500 million to protect Manhattan from flooding after Hurricane Sandy hit, but Brooklyn does not appear to be benefiting from these investments. Several tens of thousands of people in the region also had their electricity cut for several days.
