 Flash flooding disrupts New York City subway system


New York City’s subway system, the largest mass transit network in the U.S., was overwhelmed by flash flooding Thursday as heavy rains from severe thunderstorms poured water into subway tunnels and Grand Central Terminal, creating chaos for millions of commuters.

At Grand Central, water cascaded onto a Metro-North train across one of the station’s 44 platforms, giving the impression the train was parked beneath a waterfall. In Brooklyn, riders at the 7th Avenue station had to climb over fencing to avoid wading through floodwaters that seeped inside. Passengers on the 6 train were forced to exit as water flooded the subway cars.

The flooding caused widespread delays throughout the evening rush hour and into Friday morning as crews worked to repair storm damage. Some Long Island Railroad services, which also stop at Grand Central, were partially suspended due to flooding, with firefighters helping stranded passengers in Queens. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority halted service on the Port Washington Branch east of Flushing Main Street due to high water.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a State of Emergency as rainfall totals reached 2.49 inches at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and 6.35 inches in Bayside, Queens. The MTA, which serves about 3.4 million riders daily, continues recovery efforts to restore full transit service.
