Massive flooding across the Northeast on Thursday has left thousands of passengers hoping to catch a flight stranded, as hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed.
Photos and videos shared online showed cars along the Clearview Expressway in Queens, New York, submerged underwater as the rain started to fall.
About 25 million Americans now remain under a state of emergency, with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declaring a statewide emergency.
He also issued a flash flood watch for the entire state, home to nearly 10 million people.
In neighboring New York, Governor Kathy Hochul issued a similar alert covering some of the state’s most densely populated counties, approximately 15 million New Yorkers. The warning includes all five boroughs of New York City.
Severe thunderstorm watches for southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Maryland are no longer in effect, the National Weather Service announced.
