Flooding derails public transportation
Heavy rain has shut down sections of New York City's subway system and flooded streets and highways. FOX 5 NY’s Antwan Lewis reports.
"It is not over, and I don't want those gaps in heavy rain to give the appearance that it is over," Mayor Eric Adams said at a news briefing.
Photos and video posted on social media showed water pouring into subway stations and basements, and reaching the top of cars' wheels in parts of Brooklyn and elsewhere.
The MTA urged residents to stay home if they could. Virtually every subway line was at least partly suspended, rerouted or running with delays, and two of the Metro-North Railroad's three lines were suspended.
Traffic hit a standstill, with water above cars' tires, on a stretch of the FDR Drive — a major artery along the east side of Manhattan. Some drivers abandoned their vehicles.
