New York is still in the grip of spectacular flooding on Saturday September 30. A state of emergency was declared in the city, which found itself paralyzed.

The flood never ends. Intense rains flood more and more neighborhoods New York (UNITED STATES). The streets have become rivers creating dangerous whirlpools in places when the manhole covers rise. The city is unrecognizable. The residents are stunned by the situation.I’ve lived here all my life, I’ve never seen this (…)I am shocked”confides a woman.

Rail lines interrupted

A motorist was unable to continue his progress. Paged, he was taken out of his car by a rescuer (I think the adjective at the beginning of the sentence must relate to the subject). The rise in water levels is rapid. Torrents rush down the subway stairs used every day by millions of NewYorkers. Several lines had to be interrupted. The railway lines are also cut. Travelers can no longer return home. A state of emergency was declared yesterday, Friday September 29. Local authorities are renewing their call for caution and asking residents to stay at home.
