Violent thunderstorms and flash floods caused chaos across New York City and Atlanta, leaving streets submerged, highways flooded, and drivers stranded. Queens and Brooklyn were among the hardest-hit areas as more than 2 inches of rain fell within an hour, turning roads into rivers and disrupting subway service. Dramatic videos showed people climbing onto car roofs to escape rising floodwaters, while emergency crews shut down roads and rescued stranded motorists. In Atlanta, major highways, including Interstate 85, were flooded during rush hour, forcing traffic closures. Officials issued flash flood warnings and urged residents to avoid floodwaters as more rain and dangerous weather remain in the forecast.
