Storms Slam NYC with Flash Flood Warnings | New York City News
Description
New York City braced for catastrophic flash flooding as storms dumped one to two inches of rain per hour—with some areas seeing up to four inches—triggering a citywide Flood Watch. Holiday weekend damage lingered, with NJ Transit halting or cutting service across multiple lines, including a full shutdown of Gladstone Branch. Major roads like the Belt Parkway flooded, causing commute chaos, while a BJ’s roof collapsed in New Jersey—thankfully with no injuries. Officials urged residents to avoid travel, evacuate basements, and seek shelter at city-provided safe zones. Governor Hochul warned flash flood risks remained high through Tuesday, with rescue teams on standby. Meteorologists stressed: never drive through flooded roads.
