After heavy rain, floods erupt into several New York subway stations.
A video posted on social media shows a New York City subway station, flooded by fast-moving floods, lifted its feet to prevent it from running into a subway car, as passengers were watching from inside the train.
Emergency responders continued to mitigate flood sites on Tuesday morning. Rail services on the New Jersey Coast Line had delays due to weather-related wire issues, but no other rail delays have been reported. NJ Transit reported weather-related delays Monday night.
