NYC Subway Flooding Disrupts Commute as Rain Causes Chaos

New reports confirm that heavy rain has caused significant flooding across New York City’s subway system, disrupting Tuesday morning commutes. Flash floods swept through the U.S. Northeast overnight, impacting roads, air travel, and transit services, with severe delays reported across multiple subway lines.

Video footage captured by Veronica Zhang shows torrents of water streaming into the 28th Street Station in Manhattan, while streets above were inundated. Authorities report that services on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines were temporarily suspended due to flooding, affecting thousands of commuters.

While the subway system is operational, several roads in New York and New Jersey remain closed. According to the MTA, trains on the E, F, M, R, and No. 6 lines also experienced disruptions. The Staten Island Railway was halted between Huguenot and Tottenville due to severe flooding.

At area airports, over 159 flights were delayed or canceled, particularly at Newark Liberty Airport, as reported by FlightAware. Although most flash flood watches have expired in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, a state of emergency remains in effect in New Jersey, where residents are grappling with cleanup efforts.

Social media videos depict harrowing scenes of water flooding subway platforms, forcing passengers to stand on train seats to avoid soaking. In North Plainfield, New Jersey, authorities are investigating a house fire that resulted in a collapse shortly after the occupants evacuated, with no injuries reported.

Emergency services are still responding to reports of flooding in various neighborhoods. As the rain subsides, residents are urged to remain cautious. The National Weather Service is monitoring the situation closely.

UPDATE: Commuters are advised to expect delays as cleanup continues. The MTA has assured that it is working diligently to restore normal service. Further updates will follow as the situation develops.
