New York City’s Dyckman Street was flooded on Thursday (July 8), after heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in the United States’ east coast left roads and subway stations inundated by water.
A video procured by Reuters showed New Yorkers and vehicles wading through almost knee-deep water, as remnants of Tropical Storm Elsa threatened to pummel the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The eyewitness by the social media Instagram handle of @Damayordp told Reuters that he filmed the video in his neighbourhood at Uptown Manhattan, and said that the state should have been “more prepared if (they) knew that there was a storm coming”.
