The heavy downpour observed in New York City has triggered large-scale problems. The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens have suffered particularly severe damage.
According to American media reports, the heavy precipitation led to flooded streets, traffic stoppages, and the falling of numerous trees. City utility services are currently working to mitigate the consequences of the natural disaster.
In Brooklyn, the incessant rain flooded the streets, causing serious disruptions to the transport system. Officials were forced to temporarily close some major roads. It was announced that the flood risk warning would remain in effect until Tuesday morning.
In Queens, strong winds knocked down dozens of trees. Although local residents avoided serious flooding, cleanup operations are currently underway to clear debris from streets and homes.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul noted that this natural phenomenon occurred unexpectedly and posed a serious threat to people's lives, while also emphasizing the impossibility of always preparing for such situations in advance.
