Storm causes flooding in NYC

Violent storms ripped through the Big Apple on Wednesday and dumped as much as four inches of rain in a matter of hours causing dangerous flash flooding that stranded drivers in their vehicles.

While just over an inch of rain was recorded in Central Park, the Bronx’s City Island recorded 4.4 inches and Port Washington in Long Island also saw more than 4 inches of rain, Fox News meteorologist Christopher Tate told The Post. “There is a stationary front that has kind of stalled out loosely draped over the metro and out towards Long Island and that’s given us some summer influence for those summer showers — but at the same time moisture from Tropical Storm Debbie is being ushered up the coast and is eventually meeting with that stalled boundary,” the meteorologist said.People walk through the rain in Manhattan as a severe storm moves through the area in the early evening on Aug. 6.
