First Responders Brave Inches-High Floodwaters Near Lincoln Center

At 5:10 a.m., Monday, Citizen user @geo1175 broadcast video of police blocking traffic at 20 W 65 St. Shortly thereafter, Citizen reported that firefighters were on the scene of a water main break near W 64 St & Columbus Ave. Video captured by user @BKriegstein showed serious flooding in front of Lincoln Center, and emergency workers from several departments on the scene. Members of the FDNY, NYPD and Department of Environmental Protection worked together to contain the flooding. User @_w_ captured dramatic video of workers trudging through the inches-high deluge. 1, 2, & 3 Train service was partially suspended at one point during the incident due to water on the tracks. At 8:00 a.m., after nearly three hours of work, firefighters reported that all water valves had been shut off, and that they were working to clear the remaining water from the area.

Firefighters are requesting additional hoses for the cleanup effort.

Firefighters report all affected water valves have been shut off at this time. Units are in the process of clearing excess water pooling throughout the area.

Police have terminated their Level 1 Mobilization as conditions continue to stabilize.
