过去一个礼拜,强飓风 Ida 席卷东海岸,许多地方都出现了破纪录式的暴雨,目前已经造成至少 29 人死亡,其中还包括一名小婴儿。越来越频繁的极端天气让人感觉好像生活在末世,气候变化带来的苦果最终还是要人类自己吞下,甚至付出生命的代价,实在是太惨了!
纽约作为超级大都市,在这场暴雨中也并不好过,谁能想到有生之年会看到纽约发布洪水预警呢?
那些洪灾中常见的马路变成河,汽车水上漂的景象,这次也在纽约出现了。
“公交巴士在行车中被水淹了,还有好几辆车被困在了路中间,太疯狂了……英雄司机安全把我们带出了 3 到 4 英尺深的雨水,但情况好像更糟了……最后终于成功到达了高处,一个乘客说:哦不,我错过了我的站。”
Hero bus driver managed to get us safely through the 3-4 feet of rain coursing down the boulevard, but only seemed to be getting worse.

在这种恶劣环境下,还有外卖小哥坚强地推着自行车送餐。“Grubhub 仍然在外面为你送晚餐。”

除了马路被淹,建筑物内部也没能幸免。
纽瓦克机场里看起来像个游泳池,“EWR B航站楼一楼新建了一个游泳池。”
行李区也被淹没。
洋基队的主场体育馆也成了游泳池。

被淹严重的还有市民自己的家中,听说还有一家三口在地下室内不幸溺水身亡,实在是太惨烈!

当然,每逢大雨必被淹的纽约大都会地铁 MTA,也没有在这场洪水中缺席,直接变成了地下河,部分还形成了瀑布。列车在水帘下穿行,颇有种乘风破浪,激流勇进的味道。
“这看起来更像是地铁洗车场而不是地铁站。这场洪水对纽约地铁系统造成了难以置信的破坏。”

楼梯变瀑布,“水从 145 街站的楼梯上倾泻下来。”

这种天气下竟然还有人苦中作乐,顺势搬出了自己的水床漂在水里,也是绝了……
哎,这么大的雨要是能平衡一下,分一部分给加州该多好啊!
