"4th Alarm still ongoing --- Now have subway fires in lower Manhattan."

Apparently, the massive flooding in the subway system will soon extinguish them...

Think of all the great scuba diving adventures you could have now in the subway system.

Maybe it will in the subways, but for same in basements that spread to the rest of the building. Similar happened to a town in the Midwest.

In N.O., mostly no basements but fires in flooded buildings were still a major problem.

With the streets flooded, the FD can't get to the fires to put them out.

Also consider all the massive erosion of the soil, concrete infrastructures and concrete foundations underneath New York City.
Just getting to the electrical infrastructure will take weeks because it won't be a simple job of just pumping out the water.
They will have major soil erosion problems and compromised concrete infrastructures and foundations.
Not counting after they do manage to pump the water out that they will some how get backhoes in there and dig their way to the problems areas.
Right now ? the water has no place to go but up, up into the sewers, streets, buildings.... because normally the water would drain out into the ocean and at this time the ocean is coming there way.
Lots of soil will be deposited underneath New York city.
On top of all that is all the human health concerns of sewage all over the place down there... I do not envy at all the people who will have to clean up the mess under New York City.
