Wild videos show NYC isn't built for storms like Elsa

Elsa is coming, and New York City is not prepared. Or, to be more precise, its infrastructure isn't.

The tropical storm made landfall Wednesday in Florida, and on Thursday moved its way up the East Coast — hitting the eastern mid-Atlantic states this evening, according to the National Hurricane Center. As scores of New Yorkers made clear on Twitter late Thursday, the city is struggling to deal with the rainfall.

And while experts and scientists will constantly remind you that it's impossible to say, with certainty, that a specific storm is the result of climate change, we can be sure about two things: Namely, downpours in the Northeastern U.S. are getting worse as the climate warms, and New York City's infrastructure wasn't built with that fact in mind.
