Flash flooding caused widespread damage and disruption in the New York City region on Friday, inundating subway stations, swamping airports, and forcing people to wade through knee-deep water.
As heavy rain hit parts of New York City, people had to deal with strong downpours and rising water levels.
In Connecticut and Long Island, more rain was expected. While no one lost their lives, there were chaotic scenes as people waded through knee-deep water and left their cars on flooded roads.New York City firefighters rescued at least 15 people from cars stuck in the flooding, and they helped six people from flooded basement apartments.JFK airport saw more than 8 inches of rain, making it the wettest day since 1948, and La Guardia airport had almost 5 inches of rain, causing flight cancellations.
Such intense rain was once rare but is happening more often, and the city's infrastructure isn't keeping up.Hurricane Sandy in 2012 caused even more damage, with 44 deaths and $19 billion in destruction. The commissioner of the New York City department of environmental protection, Rohit Aggarwala, said climate change is happening faster than the city can adapt.Some people were upset by his lack of communication about the situation, but he defended himself by saying his team had already warned about the floods.
