New York flooded by torrential rains / Two people lost their lives, flights were interrupted

Heavy rains that hit New York City the day before have killed two people in the city. The news was announced by Mayor Eric Adams, as the storms disrupted flights and the weather service warned of flooding in some areas.

US media reported flooding and damage, while officials at the city's JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports said there were problems with scheduled flights.

In a post on "X," Adams said that most of the rain that was expected to fall within a few hours fell in a 10-minute span in the afternoon.

Meteorological authorities reported a record 4.7 centimeters of rain in Central Park, while 5.31 centimeters fell at LaGuardia Airport and 5.05 centimeters at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. The National Weather Service also issued coastal flood warnings for parts of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. /CNA
