New York is cleaning up and trying to dry out after Monday night's torrential rains caused flash flooding and damage.
Several NYC subway stations flooded on Monday night after rain drenched parts of the city, causing severe delays and even closures.
When the train doors opened, "quite a lot of water came in, so almost all of us stood up on the seats," a passenger told Newsweek.
The subway system, which is more than a century old, is relied on by millions of passengers every day and weaves the city into a cohesive network.
The region was hit with heavy rain Monday evening, resulting in flash floods that not only impacted roads and air travel, but also the transit system.
Footage shows wooden slats from the home on the ground with other debris. The blast took place around the same time heavy rainfall hit the northeast.
