• A man was spotted reclining on a pool float and smoking a hookah while floating down a flooded NYC alleyway as if it were a lazy river on Wednesday night
  
• He reclined on the raft while drifting in the murky waters, laying his head back and seemingly enjoying himself as the remnants of Ida tore through the Big Apple 
  
• The footage has already been viewed more than 700,000 times and commenters said they're waiting for 'a pack of swimming subway rats to emerge'
  
• Meanwhile the National Weather Service's office in New York issued a Flash Flood Emergency for New York City for the first time ever 
  
• Hurricane Ida has killed at least 25 people, including eight in New York, among them a two-year-old, man and woman found dead in an apartment in Queens
  

As New Yorkers hunkered down and tried to weatherproof their homes when the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded the city, one man was seen smoking a hookah while relaxing on a pool float in a flooded alley.
