Iâm declaring a state of emergency in New York City tonight.
Weâre enduring an historic weather event tonight with record breaking rain across the city, brutal flooding and dangerous conditions on our roads.

According to Weather.com, the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority has suspended some train service due to excessive water entering the tracks between Brooklyn and Manhattan at around 10:30 p.m. Some lines were also suspended in New Jersey.
New Yorkers and New Jersey residents braving the severe weather have been posting shocking footage on social media of flooded streets, flooded subways, and backflushing toilets which has to be seen to be believed.
