Over a quarter of the city's public school buildings, 28 percent, are currently at risk of extreme stormwater flooding, according to data that the City's Comptroller's Office shared with City Limits.
A flash flood that day caused 356 schools to experience flooding that required cleanup, according to the Department of Education (DOE). A citywide state of emergency was declared as half of the city's subway lines shut down and Brooklyn, one of the hardest hit areas, accumulated more than seven inches of rain.
