Faced with an impressive deluge on Friday, September 29, residents of New York, in the United States, tried as best they could to get around in a largely flooded city.

Streets drowned, under 30 centimeters of water in places. The flood lasted all day, Friday September 29, and caused chaos in New York (United States). Motorists quickly find themselves trapped on roads transformed into rivers, forced to abandon their cars and sometimes forced to call for help to get out of a bad situation. Record rains caused the sewers to overflow and surprised residents.

It’s raining in the subway

The further it progresses, the more a bus is flooded. Users finish the journey standing on the seats. Water is pouring everywhere. Cascading, in the basements of buildings, in the metro, where torrents rush down the stairs. Used every day by millions of New Yorkers, several lines had to be interrupted. It’s even raining on the docks. Also paralyzed, La Guardia airport was flooded.
