NEW YORK (AFP) – New Yorkers were inundated by flash flooding and heavy rains yesterday as Storm Ida wreaked further havoc on the northeast United States, forcing airport closures and state of emergency declarations in their state and neighboring New Jersey, with media reporting at least nine deaths.
Ida slammed into the southern state of Louisiana over the weekend, bringing severe flooding and tornadoes as it blazed a trail of destruction north.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency as the remnants of the storm caused massive flooding in the US’ financial and cultural capital, leaving the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens inundated by the deluge.
