A state of emergency has been declared in New York City as strong storms
bring flash flooding.

Many of the city's subway systems, streets and highways have flooded,
while at least one terminal at LaGuardia Airport closed on Friday.

Up to 8in (20cm) of rain fell in some parts of the city, and another few
inches are expected later on Friday, forecasters said.

"This is a dangerous, life-threatening storm," Governor Kathy Hochul has
said.

"I am declaring a state of emergency across New York City, Long Island,
and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we're seeing
throughout the region," Gov Hochul said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She urged people to take steps to stay safe and "never attempt to travel
on flooded roads".

No deaths or critical injuries have been reported.

A state of emergency was also declared in the New Jersey town of
Hoboken, just across the Hudson River from New York City.

In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams, warned people it was a time for
"heightened alertness and extreme caution" as the state of emergency was
put in place.

"Some of our subways are flooded and it is extremely difficult to move
around the city," he told a press briefing.

On Friday evening, Mr Adams told CBS, the BBC's partner in the US, that
there were 15 rescues from cars and three rescues from basement apartments.

Flooding caused major disruptions to New York's subway system and the
Metro North commuter rail service, according to the Metropolitan
Transportation Agency. Some subway lines were suspended entirely, and
many stations were closed.

In Mamaroneck, a Westchester County suburb north of the city, emergency
officials used inflatable rafts to rescue people trapped in buildings by
floods, Reuters reported.

Pictures and video footage showed people wading through water reaching
up to their knees, as streets and subways were hit by heavy rain.
Several videos posted to social media appeared to show water pouring
from the ceiling and walls of subway stations and onto inundated platforms.
