Check out this shocking moment a Brooklyn street appears to erupt like a whirlpool as heavy rain overwhelms New York City’s drainage system.
Rebecca Schneider, from New York, USA, captured the dramatic flooding at Park Place and Flatbush in Brooklyn during a thunderstorm on May 20, 2026.
The video shows stormwater violently surging out of what appears to be an overwhelmed sewer or manhole, creating a powerful geyser-like eruption in the middle of the street.
As rain continues to pour down, floodwater rapidly swirls around the intersection, making the roadway resemble a giant sinkhole or whirlpool.
The intense scene unfolded just minutes into the storm, with water quickly overtaking parts of the street and surrounding sidewalks.
Viewers reacted with frustration and disbelief in the comments.
One wrote: “Bro it’s only been raining for 7 minutes.”
