NYC flooding pours into subway as state declares emergency
:: Flooding in New York City pours into the subway as the state declares an emergency
:: July 31, 2025
:: New York
:: Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city
:: Newark, New Jersey
Reuters was able to independently verify the location of the videos by the New York City subway design that matched file imagery as well as confirmation by the source. The date when the video was filmed was verified by original file metadata.
Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city as a state of emergency was declared for the Bronx, Delaware, Dutchess, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, Westchester and Contiguous Counties.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her acting counterpart in New Jersey said they were declaring states of emergency for areas facing the threat of extreme flash floods forecast on Thursday (July 31) for much of the Eastern Seaboard.
The National Weather Service posted flash flood warnings along parts of the Northeast urban corridor stretching from the Washington-Baltimore region north through Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware, and into the New York City metropolitan area.
Severe thunderstorm watches were also in effect across much of the Interstate-95 corridor.
Up to 5 inches (12.7 cm) of rain was forecast in the heaviest bands of showers expected across New York City, Long Island and the Hudson River Valley, with rainfall rates that could exceed 2 inches per hour, according to a statement from Hochul.
The Weather Service attributed the storm threat to a cold front that was bringing a combination of unstable air mass and exceptional amounts of atmospheric moisture to the region.

Fantastic weather Monday in Philadelphia area, tracking warmer temps and late-week storms
We're starting the week with fantastic weather here in the Philadelphia area. Monday brings sunshine, low humidity and highs in the upper 80s, with a few spots near 90. Overnight, expect clear skies, calm winds and lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. A touch of haze from Canadian wildfire smoke is possible, which could filter the sun and slightly limit afternoon warmth. We'll have a better chance at more effects of the smoke Tuesday and into the first part of Wednesday. Tuesday stays warm and dry, with highs near 90 and a bit more humidity under partly cloudy skies. Clouds will build Tuesday night as moisture moves in on an onshore flow. By Wednesday, high pressure to our north keeps us mainly dry, but clouds increase from a system to our south. A few stray showers are possible Thursday through Saturday, mainly south and east of the city. Temperatures will dip into the upper 70s and low 80s Thursday before rebounding into the upper 80s next weekend. Late in the week, we're watching the potential for a low-pressure system to develop offshore and move north. Its track remains uncertain, so for now we're keeping only slight rain chances in the forecast. Be aware: There is a moderate rip current risk down at the Jersey Shore and a high rip current risk at the Delaware beaches.

Small earthquake hits near New York City
Aug. 3 (UPI) -- A small earthquake was felt near New York City on Saturday night but left no reports of injuries or structural damage. The 3.0-magnitude earthquake hit the New Jersey town of Hasbrouck Heights, about nine miles from Manhattan, around 10:18 p.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It had a depth of 10 kilometers and people reported feeling it as far as Philadelphia and New Haven, Connecticut. The New York City Office of Emergency Management said after the tremors were felt that it was monitoring for potential impacts. It later said that there were no reports of damage. The USGS explained that the earthquake happened as a result of faulting at shallow depths in the crust, and such earthquakes are infrequent but can be felt on the East Coast. "Although this event did not occur near a plate boundary, such 'intraplate' earthquakes can and do occur," the USGS said. The earthquake prompted jokes on social media from accounts that include one for the Empire State Building, which quipped, "I AM FINE."
