Nor'easter slams NYC area: Severe coastal flooding, high winds continue
"Nor'easter slams NYC area: Severe coastal flooding, high winds continue" is a straight weather update from FOX 5 New York, the Fox-owned station that broadcasts on channel 5 in the city. The last word of the title matters: this was a storm still under way when the video went up on Sunday.
Its first day ran at roughly eleven times the pace a new upload on the channel usually manages. FOX 5 New York posts local news all day long, and most of those clips open with a few thousand views before the next report takes their place. This one kept going.
On its own, it is drawing close to a tenth of what the whole channel pulls in a typical day. Yet the people watching are mostly just watching. Beneath the flooding and the wind, the comment section has stayed nearly empty.
