It's bad out there. How bad? The Times is live blogging the "state of emergency" declared by Gov. Hochul. But here are some photos (we'll add a photo of the mayor ... once someone sees him!):

Major flooding in Brooklyn today. Trains shut down and the only way out of the station is through this. pic.twitter.com/yQPLOyc6dX

Thinking how some neighborhood names give indication as to your flooding risk. I live in Crown HEIGHTS so my streets are fine. At my kid’s school in Park SLOPE cars are barely making it through… pic.twitter.com/vnyuEEJhLu

The obvious spot in Queens is bad ... again:

Just shared with me. East Elmhurst, Queens, alley that @POTUS visited two years ago after deadly flooding that year. @jessicaramos others got a drain installed and it’s still overwhelmed. pic.twitter.com/nRz87Drlhq

Here's a close-up video of the Whirlpool of Death:

But, wow, city workers fixed that quick!

The followup to this from @AndrewG13922839 is a remarkable look at what happens when city services are able to do their jobs https://t.co/Mz2WcVFze6 pic.twitter.com/p7TXfUHIMr

And Hell Gate wants to know:

The BQE is flooded, neighborhoods are flooded, the MTA is literally telling people to not take the train, but New Yorkers have yet to hear from their mayor todayhttps://t.co/NUOOK63D4H

We can finally update you on the mayor through this thread from Post reporter Nolan Hicks. Um, it's not going well for Hizzoner:

There's a long tradition, dating back to La Guardia, of mayors getting a first-hand view of these unfolding situations. There's also a long tradition of bringing the press along too. The public wants -- and desires -- to see it. https://t.co/FiN6WqgPo8
