New York flooded by heavy rains, subway partly paralyzed

Heavy rains in the northeastern United States caused severe flooding in parts of New York City, leading to the declaration of a state of emergency by Governor Kathy Hochul. The flooding paralyzed subways and airports, with cars submerged and traffic disrupted. The New York subway system was heavily affected, with limited service available due to flooding. The National Weather Service warned of further flooding and advised people to stay home if possible. This follows previous flooding in the region caused by Hurricane Ida in September 2021.
