Flooding in NYC

New York City experienced severe flash flooding due to heavy rain from Tropical Storm Debby, resulting in up to four inches of rainfall in some areas, particularly the Bronx. Emergency services rescued several drivers trapped on major roadways such as the Henry Hudson Parkway and Major Deegan Expressway, with the city receiving numerous calls regarding abandoned vehicles and sewer backups. Flash flood warnings were issued in Manhattan and The Bronx, prompting officials to advise residents in basement apartments to seek higher ground. As the storm progressed, flooding also affected parts of New Jersey, where roads were submerged. Meanwhile, in Tonawanda, New York, heavy rain caused severe flooding and road closures, with several cars trapped underpasses and some residents facing power outages due to downed trees. The weather is expected to remain cooler with lingering flooding concerns as the remnants of Hurricane Debby approach the region.
