After days of rain,
the Gowanus Canal flooded over its banks
leaving behind quite a mess.

On Saturday night I looked out of my window and could see the canal overflowing halfway up Sackett Street (between the canal and Bond). I don't know the statistical data, but it has become more often and regular that at high tide, the canal often looks about as high as it can get before overflowing.
I heard that the bulkheads at Whole Foods which were a mess before the storm really became a worse mess. Whole Foods owes it to the community (and probably legally) to restore those bulkheads.
This is a flooz zone - no doubt about it. Breathing a sigh of some relief that EPA Superfunded the canal.
