Daylight reveals flooding devastation in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania

Hurricane Ida brought spectacular flash flooding and a rare state of emergency in New York City, killing a number of people in what was called a “one-in-500-year” weather event.

Hundreds of flights were cancelled at LaGuardia and JFK airports, as well as at Newark, and the entire subway was suspended after stations became submerged.

The rain on Wednesday night - 3.1 inches in Central Park in an hour - shattered a record set only last week, when 1.94 inches of rain fell in the park during Tropical Storm Henri.
