Still ongoing flash flooding hit New York City hard on Friday, with low-lying streets becoming inundated with wetter than usual garbage and rats, National Zero reports citing its founder’s firsthand account of his building’s basement storage unit steadily filling up with water leaking in from the adjacent IND line line of the subway system. Service on which is experiencing heavy delays along with the every other route that wasn’t already suspended partially or entirely.
“A FLASH FLOOD WARNING is in effect for this area until 12:30 PM EDT. This is a dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order,” said an emergency push alert sent to locals’ phones at around 9:25 AM EDT Friday. It may have kind of lowballed the estimate for the end of the rain given that the NWS also says that the region will remain under a flash flood watch until 6:00 EDT on Saturday.
