NYC flooding brought on because sewer system couldn't keep up with intense rainfall, Mayor Mamdani says - CBS New Yorkhttps://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/new-york-city-rain-hollis-queens-flooding-zohran-mamdani/New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday night's storm, which flooded parts of Brooklyn and Queens, was so intense the amount of rain it dropped overwhelmed the city's sewer system.
Mamdani, who toured some of the damage in Hollis on Thursday, said the drainage system is only built to handle up two inches per hour and it appears the area got a lot more than that.

"What needs to happen is you gotta raise these roads, which is complicated because if you raise the roads, you have to raise the homes," Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said.
Mamdani said the city has invested millions of dollars in a 10-year plan for what are called Cloudburst projects, sites that can soak up excess water and hold it for a day or two.
