Heavy rain triggers flash flooding in Brooklyn, New York



The NYC area is facing major flooding as heavy rain slams New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Parts of Brooklyn were submerged by 6 inches of rain by Friday morning.

NY Gov. Hochul declared a state of emergency for the state due to significant flooding, saying, “It is critical that all New Yorkers take all necessary precautions and avoid flooded roads, which are some of the most dangerous places during flash floods.”
