Last night, New York City flooded. A tidal wave of sewage inundated the subway; manhole covers rattled like it was the apocalypse; the 60 minutes between 8:50 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. was, by a wide margin, the wettest hour ever in Central Park; water submerged cars in all five boroughs; and at least eight New Yorkers tragically lost their lives in the storm.
