A storm caused flash floods in the northeastern United States, leading to significant transport disruptions across the region. Local authorities issued alerts urging the population to avoid unnecessary travel.
Amtrak and Metro-North rail services were particularly affected, experiencing considerable delays and multiple service cancellations. Passengers were stranded at stations and on trains for several hours.
The sudden flooding resulted from heavy rainfall that hit the region in a short period of time. Several roads and highways were also closed due to water accumulation.
