As torrential rains caused flash flooding across New York City, many New Yorkers struggled with flooded streets and subway stations during their morning commutes.
Although New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a State of Emergency, and Mayor Eric Adams asked New Yorkers to stay home or shelter in place, one woman took to TikTok to show an unnamed New York City teacher wading through the flooded streets, seemingly in an effort to get to work. “Nah, us teachers do NOT get paid enough,” she captioned her video.
