There was no flooding in my area of Brooklyn during the deluge last Friday. As the sun hit the One Way sign on my corner - I noticed a rainbow and took a quick pic which came out interesting.
On September 29, 2023, heavy rainfall led to flooding across portions of the New York metropolitan area and areas in New York City. New York governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for five boroughs in New York, including portions of Hudson Valley and Long Island, and New York City mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency for the city. New Jersey governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency for all 21 counties in the state, and Hoboken, New Jersey mayor Ravinder Bhalla also declared a state of emergency. The flooding suspended train service across numerous lines in Brooklyn, and every line on the New York City Subway was affected. Metro-North Railroad service was suspended on three lines, and several boroughs and numerous streets were flooded throughout the region. A ground stop was imposed on LaGuardia Airport, where nearly 60 flights were cancelled. The heavy rainfall was caused by a stalled low-pressure area as showers and thunderstorms developed on September 29
