AS IF HURRICANE IDA DIDN’T DO ENOUGH DAMAGE IN LOUISIANA, THE
DOWNGRADED TROPICAL STORM CAUSED RECORD FLOODING IN THE
NORTHEAST.

THE DEADLY DELUGE FORCED GOVERNORS ACROSS THREE STATES TO
ISSUE STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDERS.

IN NEW YORK, HIGHWAYS AND STREETS SWIFTLY TURNED INTO RIVERS.

NYPD RESCUED THIS STRANDED MOTORIST FROM AN INUNDATED
EXPRESSWAY.

SOCIAL MEDIA GOING BANANAS, COMPARING THE WICKED WEATHER TO THE
2004 FICTIONAL FILM, ‘THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.’

THIS USER TWEETED SIDE-BY-SIDE PICTURES OF THE MOVIE VS. REALITY.

INSTEAD OF CARS SPEEDING DOWN HIGHWAYS, THEY WERE FLOATING.

THIS NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY STATION IS USUALLY PACKED WITH
PASSENGERS, IT’S NOW GUSHING WITH WATER.

THE HEAVY RAIN EVENT ALSO CAUSED CHAOS AT THE U-S OPEN.
EVENT ORGANIZERS WERE FORCED TO DELAY AND RESCHEDULE MATCHES.

SCENES ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER, IN NEW JERSEY, LIKE THIS FATHER
WADING THROUGH WATER TO CARRY HIS SON FROM A FLOODED BUILDING.
AND THIS WOMAN’S CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.

FLOODING WASN’T THE ONLY PROBLEM. SEVERAL TORNADOES BROKE OUT
ACROSS THE REGION, SNAPPING TREES, POWER LINES, AND PEELING BACK
FACADES OF HOMES.

IN PHILLY, THIS DRIVER CAPTURED THIS TWISTER RIPPING ACROSS THE CITY.

SEVERAL STATES BATTERED BY IDA, NOW, LOOKING TO DRY OUT AND PICK
UP THE PIECES.
