On Thursday night, wild videos popped up showing underground subway stations flooding with water.
Commuters were forced to swim in subway stations and drivers were rescued from their stranded cars.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for NYC and much of New Jersey as the storm made its way up the coastline.
Social media captured some of the floodings across NYC

Not just law enforcement officers…
Kudos to these SRG cops who are using a little innovation & one of our barrier trucks to rescue stranded motorists on the Major Deegan Expressway.#finest
