Flash flooding has destabilized normal activities in New York City, prompting a declaration of a state of emergency.
Torrential rain caused flooding that closed roads and disrupted subway service as “dangerous and life-threatening” rainfall surged across New York City.
Many of the city’s subway systems, streets, and highways have flooded, while at least one terminal at LaGuardia Airport was closed on Friday.
Up to five inches of rain fell in some areas overnight, and as much as seven inches more is due, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul said.
“This is a dangerous, life-threatening storm,” Ms Hochul added.
