Dear AT
Not sure if I am posting this correctly or not, but limited time does not allow you much thought.
New York, Coney Island Area, direct hit of Sandy, we have no water, tv or anything, light went back on last night, but we are very thankfull just for that. I want to ask everyone to mark the fact that the worst areas got no media coverage, we have 6 buildings still evacuated, due to gas leak. Not even one car survived. This place looks and smells like death. Robberies are at the highest... I have to walk for hours to get service on phone, 311, ny1 or brooklyn channel 12 are useless. I am posting this only for one reason. Please look into the fact that entire neiborhood was swimming in water, cars, buses every single business..... houses are gone... but it wasn't rain or water from ocean, the ground was cracking apart like during earthquake and water was coming out like fountain. it took < 10 minutes to fill lobbies and cars over the roof... there was NO rain, wind came after 11pm.... I can't post picture using computer of very nice strangers who let me for 10 minutes, I have video's and pictures (actually my husband does) and I will post them when (hopefully) i get everything back, if you want it directly sent, please message me your cell number and I will do it. I am here for another 10 minutes, its about 7:40pm. if you think you are actually being helped or water is being given out or that NY was prepared,,,, all LIES, BIG lies, people are robbing eaching other, fights are everywhere, people dress in Police, FEMA and Fire uniform knock on doors and destroy peoples lives to nothing..... its horrible... we have another small storm coming next week. Me and my family, lost everything, my husband lost his business, cars, houses, my kids didn't take a shower for days... all I am asking to to check please, what can possible cause the water to drastically and very fast crack the ground open and drown cars....

Thank you!
NY

Now that is very unusual.

I would like to know WHAT exactly would cause something like that.

Something really odd is going on if that happened as described...

The OP, Rocks123 has my number, will be attempting to send a video first of water coming out of the ground. Will keep this thread posted on progress...

And you know this person how?

Ever heard the phrase 'new york minute'?

Hopes you don't get on a spam list.

Folks are trying to learn about this odd occurrence and helping others to get information out.

Why do you care what someone else does anyways?

Why not "NY minute" yourself outta this thread, eh?

OP, do you know what is under you? Is there sewer or old tunnels, or storm drains? Subways?

Perhaps the water was rushing in other places and bubbling up at your location? Since you still don't have water, it is likely that a water main could have burst, but I can't imagine that floating all the cars so quickly!

I'll be following this thread. Good luck to you and your family. Hang in there!

Ok, If there is water coming out of cracks in the ground enough to flood the streets then I want to see these photos. I don't want to be "that guy" and I am not doubting you but, if this is happening then we need to make this go viral and quick!

Gimme some pics so I can repost them elsewhere.
Hurricanes are one thing.
The ground opening up and flooding cars is quite another.

This storm has been so devestating for so many people. It breaks my heart. I am interested in seeing the video of the water coming up from the ground.

I am so sorry that you are suffering through this, but at least you and your family are alive. HUGS!

I've got the video from OP...yes, it's massive amounts of water all coming up at once. Am trying to upload it now from my Verizon Flix accnt. to here....
