"New York declared a state of emergency early Thursday morning, the
first-ever flash flood emergency issued for the city. And the city
implemented a travel ban until 5 a.m. ET. Those declarations came too
late for many commuters, though, who became stranded at travel hubs
far from home.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority outlined the issues early
Thursday: The subway system flooded in 46 locations, about 65 buses
were blocked or stuck and two Metro North Line trains were stranded.
In addition, all New Jersey Transit rail service, except for the
Atlantic City Rail Line, were suspended due to the flooding.
The New York City Fire Department had to rescue hundreds of people
from subway stations, spokesman Frank Dwyer said. The head of the MTA
said roughly 15 to 20 subway trains were stranded."
Very sad. I like NYC, was there in 1998 and climbed the South Tower
as part of our organised tour. It's a great city, probably still the
world's greatest :(
