Wild Images Show NYC Streets Turned Into Rivers As Flash Floods Sweep The City


Wild images circulating on social media Friday showed flooded New York City streets caused by massive rain storms, causing New York Governor Kathy Hochul to declare a state of emergency.

Photographs and videos on X showed cars halfway submerged underwater amid a warning from the National Weather Service for a “dangerous and life-threatening situation” caused by flash flooding in the region, the New York Post reported.

“Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order,” an emergency alert warned, according to the outlet.

Videos taken by cellphones showed flooding on the streets and cars struggling to get through or almost completely covered up.

 

 

Some video showed the water pouring into the subway system and disrupting service in New York City, the New York Times noted.

 

There’s also one post with overhead footage showing a car driving through the massive amount of water. More rain is expected throughout the day, the Post noted.

In one video on X from the Post, water rushed down the staircase of the subway system like a waterfall.

Other images showed people trying to walk through the streets in waist-high water.

Later in the day, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a “Flash Flood Warning including The Bronx NY, Yonkers NY and New Rochelle NY until 4:00 PM EDT.”

In another post retweeted by the NWS in New York, the agency warned that flash flooding had caused “4-6” inches of rain to fall and an “additional 2-4” inches of rain was possible.

“Flash flooding is already occurring. Avoid travel,” it added. “Move to higher ground. If in a basement, move to higher floor.”

Hochul said earlier in the day that she was “declaring a State of Emergency across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we’re seeing throughout the region.”

“Please take steps to stay safe and remember to never attempt to travel on flooded roads,” she added.
