Severe Storms Lead to Flooding and State of Emergency in Northeast

A series of severe storms have resulted in heavy rainfall and widespread flooding across the Northeast, particularly affecting New York City and New Jersey. Many areas experienced over six inches of rain, leading to flash floods that inundated roads, subways, and train stations. Dramatic videos show streets and transit hubs submerged, and numerous vehicles were trapped in floodwaters. In response to the emergency conditions, state officials, including Governor Hochul, have declared states of emergency for affected regions. The storm disruptions have also caused significant travel delays, stranding train passengers and impacting commutes. Cleanup efforts are ongoing as residents navigate the aftermath of the flooding.
