Don't you just love flash floods in the middle of Manhattan?

So Elana and I are at the Central Park Childrens Zoo when the sky opens up and causes a flash flood. In about 10 minutes or so the water level rises to my waist, all the garbage cans get washed away and things like this utility truck all get knocked out.


Water still rising!


Quick... Zookeeper grab a ladder and get everyone to higher ground!


Everyone soaking wet but fine. Soggy crackers for everyone!

If you're worried about the animals it looked like they were loving it.
