00:00Oh my god!
00:02The deadliest and most destructive flooding.
00:05A catastrophic fire season.
00:09Like it was straight out of a disaster movie.
00:13I'm 76 years old, lived a long time, I've never seen anything like this one.
00:31This is kind of what it looks like here.
00:34Just branches strewn across the road.
00:42Jesus Christ.
00:43I know.
00:44Way too steep.
00:46Way too steep.
00:47I bet you're not going to believe it.
01:01Wow.
01:09It's 106 today, it's supposed to be 113 tomorrow and the next day.
01:14And usually it's about 75 degrees this time of year.
01:18This is going to set records.
01:19This is going to be the hottest that's ever been experienced in human history in this region of the world.
01:24It's so hot they had to put the ACs under tents.
01:31Oh my god!
01:41This is our fifth named storm of the 2021 hurricane season.
01:46It is July 1st.
01:48Typically you wouldn't get the fifth named storm until sometime in August.
02:00Subway stations, roads and even some apartments are still drying out after the severe weather.
02:30Oh yeah, I'll put my lane out here.
02:56Last time we experienced such a flood or an extreme flood was 18 years ago.
03:02And there the water level was not even half as much.
03:18Wow.
03:19Oh my god!
03:21What is here?
03:23Oh no!
03:26Oh my god!
