Severe flash flooding across the tri-state area on Monday caused major subway delays and road closures across the Big Apple and pushed New Jersey to declare a state of emergency.
All five boroughs and Nassau County are under a flash flood warning through midnight, according to the National Weather Service.
“Flooding can be deadly and often strikes with little or no warning. Streets, basements, and below-grade spaces can fill with water in minutes. If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground,” NYC Emergency Management advised on X.
“Keep your Go Bag near the door and clear exit paths. Avoid flooded areas. Never walk or drive into water. Turn around, don’t drown.”
Flash flood warnings were declared all across the tri-state area Monday evening. John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock The Bronx River Parkway flooded to the point where people couldn’t even see the road.
