Flooding Traps Semi-Truck on N.Y.C. Highway amid Flood Watch and Travel Advisory
All of the drivers were rescued safely, and no injuries were reportedNEED TO KNOW Rescue officials were forced to pull drivers from their cars in New York City after a highway filled with water during a flash flood The New York City Fire Department said that they were called to a Queens highway on July 31 to help "occupants trapped in vehicles" as flood waters reached several feet high All of the drivers were rescued safely and no injuries were reportedRescue officials were forced to pull drivers from their cars in New York City after a Queens highway filled with water during a flash flood. The New York City Fire Department told PEOPLE in a statement that amid the heavy rains on Thursday, July 31, the Clearview Expressway flooded near Queens' Northern Boulevard, and firefighters were called to the scene at around 2:45 p.m. local time after receiving reports of "occupants trapped in vehicles." FDNY said three vehicles were submerged underwater, and video footage obtained by ABC7 New York showed drivers sitting on top of their cars as they waited for first responders to arrive. One witness described the flood waters as "10 feet deep," as six or seven people sat on their vehicles and waited for help to arrive. "[We had] massive rainfall," the witness told ABC7. "I mean. I would guess in an hour we got 3 inches." Related: Although two people were pulled from "waist-deep water," all of the vehicle occupants were rescued safely, and no injuries were reported, the fire department said. Units from FDNY are still at the scene as of 6:30 p.m. local time, but ABC7 reported that the roadway has reopened. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a localized state of emergency for New York City for the drenching downpours, and Gov. Kathy Hochul has also declared a state of emergency, according to ABC7 and CBS News New York. "I am urging all New Yorkers to stay vigilant, stay informed, and use caution as we expect excessive rainfall with the potential for flash flooding," Hochul said, per CBS. "State agencies are on standby for heavy downpours and localized flooding and will be monitoring the situation in real-time to ensure the safety of all New Yorkers in the path of the storm."

Gov. Hochul also warned commuters about possible travel difficulties amid the state of emergency. "That means be alert," she said in a video on X. "Watch the conditions around you. And we're making sure the subways are safe as best as we can. It's going to be a very difficult and challenging commute going home. So, everybody be safe, be smart and we'll get through this."

July 2025 sets record for fourth wettest July in Detroit history
This may not come as much of a surprise after the torrential rainfall this week, but July 2025 is ending in the top five wettest Julys in Detroit. Flash flooding on Wednesday, July 31, brought us over the line, but not before we experienced heavy rainfall on Monday, July 28. Detroit reached 7.38 inches of rainfall for the month. The month's average is 3.51 inches of rainfall. There is no doubt we've seen an abundance of water this month, but reaching the top tive for the fourth wettest ranking is a feat. Records for the Detroit area go back to November 1874.
