New York has been hit with major flash flooding this week — and social media videos are showing straight-up apocalyptic scenes, with the city’s public transport system getting deluged as the city was pummeled by relentless rain Monday night.
Check it out — gallons of water flooding the platform at one NYC stop, drowning it while commuters are trapped inside the train … a haunting scene straight out of a disaster movie.
In the video footage, you can see passengers watching helplessly from inside, with some even kneeling on their seats to avoid the water creeping in uner the doors … as the conductor tells them he can’t open the doors out of caution.
It all kicked off last night, with major flash-flooding sweeping Manhattan. Some areas saw up to 7 inches of rain, causing major flight delays, shutting down multiple train lines, and turning NYC streets into rivers.
New Jersey wasn’t spared either — in fact, it got hit harder. Some areas reported rivers of rainwater spilling over highways, and NJ even declared a state of emergency.
