We should anticipate it better.” The National Weather Service warned of flooding through late Friday with as much as two inches of rain falling per hour.
The rain came from a low pressure system along the mid-Atlantic coast, which pulls in moist air from the ocean. “If you live in these boroughs or in a basement apartment or flood-prone area, please make sure you have plans and are prepared to move to higher ground,” urged New York City Emergency Management commissioner Zach Iscol.
