Historic rainfall north of New York City triggered dozens of water rescues and led to roadways being washed out after more than half a foot of rain fell in only a few hours on Sunday.
State Police reported numerous roadways in Rockland County were washed out and urged drivers to avoid the area.The U.S. Military Academy at West Point said driving was unsafe around the post due to drain covers that were displaced by the fast-moving water.
The FOX Forecast Center warned bands of additional showers and thunderstorms could produce several more inches of rainfall, and some parts of the Northeast were facing the worst catastrophic flash flooding event since Hurricane Irene in 2011."My biggest concern is the fact that most people's lives that are lost during a flood event occur because they're in their vehicles - not in their homes, but in their vehicles.
