Snažna kiša izazvala je haos u saobraćaju u New Yorku i okolini, ostavivši putnike podzemne željeznice zarobljene u vagonima dok je voda provaljivala na perone.
Na snimci s stanice 28th Street vidi se kako putnici s nevjericom posmatraju dok bujica vode ulazi u stanicu, slijevajući se niz stepenice i šireći se po platformi.
