Rain poured in sheets across the nation’s largest city as New Yorkers’ phones buzzed with a National Weather Service warning declaring the flash floods a “dangerous and life-threatening situation.” The sky lit up repeatedly throughout the evening with bright blasts of lightning, and the streets in the western part of Queens, turned into swift, shallow rivers.
Flash flooding is already occurring in the metropolitan New York area, the NWS said as it urged residents to move to high ground and to not attempt to travel unless fleeing a dangerous area. “This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION,” the NWS wrote on Twitter just before 10 p.m. EDT. “SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!”
Move to higher ground now! This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding. Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads.

The first time we've issued a Flash Flood Emergency was for Northeast New Jersey a an hour ago.
