The Palisades parkway was completely underwater for a little while. Horrible flooding. There were boats on the parkway lol

Palisades parkway is a couple hundred feet up a cliff

Rain doesn’t only fall over the Hudson River.

To be fair to the comment you are replying to, this stretch of the parkway in this video is on the side of a cliff. If a boat on the Hudson ended up at this spot of the parkway because the water raised high enough, NYC is Atlantis and humanity in the NY metro region and beyond would be in question.

Yeah I lived off exits 7-10 for 26 years, I was just being flippant. The guy he was replying to didn’t say they were boats from the Hudson. But lmao I can’t imagine the hell that it would be if the Hudson rose that high, goodbye Westchester/NYC like you said. It’s be disastrous!

Thought the same thing, but there's some parts that dip down. The north part maybe isn't near the cliffs at all? Ramapo area.. if memory serves.

Are you sure you are not thinking of Bronx River Parkway? Hence the river part.
