Can you come to the conclusion that you're viewing the Hudson River in New York City flooding?

The video shows pedestrians walking across the walkway above the river, just inches from the water. Then, later in the video, as time has passed, you can see that the river is overflowing, spilling onto walkways with bench areas. The water was crashing against the Tik Tok creator's feet.

Here's what commenters are saying:

"Does this normally happen? Or is it new..."

"Crazy how icy the streets are going to be by tomorrow"

"Wow haven't seen it that high since Sandy"

"This is new too. Never seen this before"

What caused this?

It's not clear what the cause of this flooding is, from the video.

Based on the hashtags from the Tik Tok video and remarks from the commenters, it seems people are thinking Winter Storm Elliott, may be the cause.
