Heavy rains hit the northeastern United States, leading to severe flooding in New York. The overnight downpour submerged streets, partially paralyzed subways, and caused the closure of LaGuardia Airport’s terminal. Mayor Eric Adams advised residents to stay indoors, as waterlogged streets and flooded subway stations made travel difficult. The extensive New York subway system experienced closures, primarily in Brooklyn. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for the city and surrounding areas. The National Weather Service issued warnings of ongoing flooding, predicting up to seven inches of rainfall. Climate change’s impact on infrastructure readiness was emphasized by officials.
