"New York City Recovers from Historic Flooding, Embraces October's Arrival"

New York City is recovering from historic rainfall that caused flooded roadways, waterlogged basements, and leaky roofs. Flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport were still delayed, and some store owners managed to open on time despite the cleanup. New York Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized the need to prepare for regularly occurring extreme weather events. While there were no reported injuries or deaths, the storm brought back memories of previous deadly storms like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Ida. Public transportation has largely returned to normal, and full subway service was restored. Residents faced issues with leaky roofs and flooded basements, highlighting the need for improved infrastructure.
