United States - October 30, 2025 Video filmed by X user JoshVA captures a chaotic downpour that has turned streets near Atlantic Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue into a flooded mess during rush hour. Shot shakily from inside a stalled school bus, the clip opens with a low-angle pan across ankle-to-calf-deep murky water sweeping the asphalt. Cars inch through the torrent like reluctant ships as gray skies hammer down. Brick brownstones, fire escapes and glowing windows loom in the background while swinging traffic lights and orange cones mark the hazard zone. A lone pedestrian in a dark hooded coat huddles under an umbrella. The bus edges to a flooded stop and a young woman in a blue puffer jacket with a white hood, black leggings and blue sneakers steps onto the entry platform. Water pools on the black rubber treads marked with a yellow "CAUTION TWO STEPS" sign and MTA branding. Glass doors streaked with rain reveal a dim, yellow-lit interior as droplets fall from the woman’s umbrella and backpack. Distant horns and the steady patter of rain on metal underscore the standstill gridlock, punctuated by churning bow waves from a passing red sedan.
