From the New York Post: The Big Apple experienced its second-wettest hour in history as torrential rain drenched the city overnight — with terrifying footage showing straphangers trapped on subways by the freak flash flooding.
“New York City picked up a hair over 2 inches last night — 2.07 inches to be exact — making it the second wettest single hour ever recorded in the city,” FOX Forecast Center meteorologist Christopher Tate told The Post on Tuesday of the rainfall recorded between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“It was bested only by the nearly 3 inches of rain that fell in New York City during the aftermath of Hurricane Ida in 2021.”
The heavy downpours wreaked havoc across the city with footage showing commuters overwhelmed by floodwaters in various subway stations.
