BREAKING: NYC Coastal Flood Alert: Thursday’s Trouble and What Patriots Need to Do
By JV Charles, Senior Editor at jvpolitical.com | Posted May 21, 2025
Folks, New York City’s got a Coastal Flood Statement coming down the pike for Thursday, May 22, 2025, and it’s time to get serious. The National Weather Service says we’re looking at some minor flooding—think wet streets and soggy basements—in places like Manhattan, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. Here at jvpolitical.com, we’re not about fearmongering like the liberal media. I’m JV Charles, your Senior Editor, and I’m here to give you the straight dope: what’s happening, how to handle it, and why Trump’s common-sense approach would’ve had us better prepared than the current mess. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive in.
Key Takeaways
- NYC’s Coastal Flood Statement runs Thursday, May 22, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with up to half a foot of water in low spots.
- Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and parts of Queens could see flooded roads and minor property headaches.
- Real conservatives don’t wait for FEMA’s red tape—get your family and property ready now.
- Trump’s infrastructure plans would’ve fortified NYC’s coasts better than Biden’s green-deal nonsense.
What’s This Coastal Flood Statement All About?
The Nitty-Gritty
Alright, here’s the deal. The National Weather Service dropped a Coastal Flood Statement at 4:36 PM today, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, for NYC. It’s in effect tomorrow, Thursday, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. They’re expecting up to half a foot of water above ground level in low-lying spots near the waterfront—think Manhattan’s edges, Staten Island’s shores, and Brooklyn’s coastal strips. It’s not a full-blown disaster, but it’s enough to mess up your commute or flood your garage if you’re not paying attention. Oh, and Southern Queens, like Jamaica Bay, is under a Coastal Flood Advisory for the same time, with up to a foot of water possible.
Why Should You Care?
This ain’t a hurricane, but don’t shrug it off. A Coastal Flood Statement means minor flooding—roads under water, maybe some damage to cars or basements. In a city like New York, where half the streets are already a mess, this can snarl traffic and screw up your day. The liberal media will probably scream “climate apocalypse,” but we know better. This is about being ready, not buying into their panic. For us conservatives, it’s a chance to show we can handle our own without begging for a government bailout.
What’s at Stake in NYC?
Where It’s Hitting
Here’s who’s in the crosshairs:
- Manhattan: Those fancy waterfront spots might see roads turn into rivers.
- Staten Island: If you’re near the shore, watch for water creeping into low yards.
- Brooklyn: Coastal parks and roads could be a mess, so plan your routes.
- Southern Queens: Jamaica Bay’s got a tougher advisory—up to a foot of water.
The NWS is crystal clear: don’t drive through flooded streets. Twelve inches of moving water can sweep your car away, and nobody’s got time for that.
What Could Go Wrong?
Think blocked roads, delayed buses, and maybe some water in your buddy’s ground-floor apartment. Businesses near the water might take a hit, and if you’ve got a car parked in a bad spot, you’re asking for trouble. For conservatives who value freedom and self-reliance, this is our moment to prep smart and not lean on Uncle Sam’s crutches.
Getting Ready the Patriot Way
What You Can Do
Trump taught us to take charge, and that’s the playbook here. Don’t wait for some bureaucrat to save you. Try these:
- Stay in the Know: Check NotifyNYC or the NWS site. Skip CNN—they’ll just lecture you on carbon footprints.
- Lock Down Your Stuff: Move your tools, electronics, whatever, to higher ground. Don’t park where water pools.
- Have a Plan: Know your way out if roads flood. Keep a bag with water, snacks, and a flashlight handy.
- Be Smart: Stay out of floodwater. It’s not just wet—it’s dangerous.
Community Muscle
Conservatives shine when we work together. NYC’s local leaders need to step up like Trump did—cut the fluff and get to work. That means:
- Fixing up seawalls and drains, like Trump’s infrastructure push demanded.
- Letting neighbors and churches lead, not some FEMA desk jockey.
- Talking straight to folks, like Mayor Adams tries, without Washington’s meddling.
Is the Government Dropping the Ball?
What They’re Doing
NYC’s Emergency Management is keeping an eye out, and NotifyNYC’s blasting alerts to stay alert. But let’s be real—when FEMA gets involved, it’s usually a slow-motion train wreck of paperwork. Conservatives know the city and state can move faster without D.C.’s leash.
Trump Had It Right
Back when Trump was in charge, he slashed red tape so cities could build stronger, faster. His infrastructure plans would’ve had NYC’s coasts ready for days like tomorrow. But now? Biden’s crew cut programs like the one giving NYC $300 million for flood defenses, all to fund their green-energy pipe dreams. We need Trump’s focus on real projects—seawalls, not solar panels—because that’s what keeps New Yorkers dry.
Why This Fires Up Conservatives
This flood statement isn’t just about some water—it’s about who we are. At jvpolitical.com, we’re all in for standing tall, helping our neighbors, and telling the feds to back off. Thursday’s flooding is a chance to live Trump’s values: take care of your own, keep your head up, and don’t buy the left’s doom-and-gloom. New York’s tough, and so are we. Let’s do this.
