Subway station flooded: Hurricane “Ida” floods New York – from all over the world

Scenes like from a disaster movie. After heavy rains from the foothills of Hurricane “Ida”, heavy flooding occurred in New York and a subway station was flooded by the water. The operation of the subway had to be stopped. Many people were stuck in the wagons.

At least seven people died in the severe thunderstorms in the wake of Hurricane “Ida” in the northeastern United States. In the city of Passaic in the state of New Jersey, an elderly man was surprised in his car by the masses of water and drowned, said Mayor Hector Lora on Thursday night the broadcaster CNN. The fire brigade was able to save two other occupants from the car.

Like the neighboring state of New York, New Jersey was hit by severe flooding after the storms caused by “Ida” hit the region. A state of emergency has been declared in both states.

Not only New York’s subway was hit by the heaviest rain in history

Passaic is only about 20 kilometers from the metropolis of New York City, which experienced the heaviest rain in its history. In the borough of Queens, a person died after the partial collapse of a building, as CNN reported, citing the fire department. It was not initially clear whether this death was directly related to the storm.

“Ida” hit the coast of southern Louisiana on Sunday as a dangerous four-of-five hurricane southwest of New Orleans. Then it weakened and moved further northeast as a tropical low.
