New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a state of emergency due to the continued unprecedented floods caused by heavy rainfall, which paralyzed the entire general transportation network.<\/p>\n
De Blasio, via his Twitter account, called on people to stay indoors, stay off the streets, and
\navoid travel until this dangerous tropical storm passes. At least five flash-flood emergencies were issued on Wednesday evening by the National Weather Service, stretching from west of Philadelphia through northern New Jersey.<\/p>\n
The latest flash flood emergency included Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, with rainfall
\nestimates between four to eight inches of water and about 10 inches in some isolated areas.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Ida barreled into New Jersey and New York City on Tuesday with furious, wind-driven rain that halted the region after suspending all transportation.<\/p>\n
