New York and New Jersey hit by torrential rain and flash floods, forcing highway closures, suspending subway lines and flight delays.

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey after slow-moving thunderstorms unloaded a significant amount of rain, resulting in dangerous flash flooding across the Northeast into Monday night. At least 2 were killed.

Torrential downpours battered the New York metropolitan area on Monday night, unleashing widespread flash flooding that brought transit systems to a standstill, submerged roads and highways, and disrupted air travel across several major airports.

When the train doors opened, "quite a lot of water came in, so almost all of us stood up on the seats," a passenger told Newsweek.

So far this year, the number of people riding the subway is up 8% since last year and has risen 31% compared to 2022.

Opening soon in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, Metro Private Cinema will put an intimate, upscale and very culinary spin on a night out at the movies.

The MTA is disputing the results of the survey and said its own research has found that transit riders are happy with the transition to OMNY.
