Severe rain causes flooding and wall collapses in NYC and Westchester.

Nonstop rain caused severe flooding in NYC, leading to the collapse of a residential building wall in the Bronx and the evacuation of multiple buildings. Drivers were trapped in rising waters, and some needed to be rescued. Flood advisories were issued for low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Emergency responders were quick to connect families who needed services with the Red Cross. The NYC emergency notification system warned residents of life-threatening flooding, especially for those living in basement apartments. Various highways and roads in New Jersey and New York suburbs were also closed due to the powerful storm.
