Heavy rain in New York City

Parts of Brooklyn saw more than 184mm, with one spot recording 60mm in a single hour, according to weather and city officials, with more downpours expected on Saturday. The deluge came two years after the remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped record-breaking rain on the north-east and killed at least 13 people in New York City, mostly in flooded basement apartments. Although no deaths or severe injuries have been reported, Friday's storm stirred frightening memories. Ida killed three of Joy Wong's neighbours, including a toddler, and on Friday, water began lapping against the front door of her building in Woodside, Queens. "I was so worried," she said, explaining it became too dangerous to leave.
