Heavy Rain & Flash Floods Hit New Jersey
New Jersey is in the midst of extreme weather as heavy rains triggered flash floods, prompting Governor Phil Murphy to declare a state of emergency. 🌧️ "I am declaring a State of Emergency given flash flooding and high levels of rainfall in parts of the state," he announced on social media.
The National Weather Service warned that showers and thunderstorms may hit hard with rainfall rates of up to 2 inches per hour, potentially totaling 3 inches in the New York City area. This severe weather could impact daily commutes and routine plans.
New York City Transit has already reported flooding at several subway stations in Queens, causing disruptions on the E, M, and R train lines. 🚇 For youngsters and early professionals always on the go, this is a reminder that nature can suddenly disrupt even our fast-paced lives.
Stay safe, keep informed via your mobile, and follow local updates closely in these unpredictable conditions. Take care and be prepared for any changes!
