Massive Rainfall Causes Millions in Damages in New York, Northeast

As many as 14 million people in the Northeast and New England were still under flood alerts this morning after a summer’s worth of rain fell in parts of New York, forecasters said.

‘Dangerous, widespread flash flooding from excessive rainfall is expected across New England through Tuesday morning; Highest risk for Vermont with expected impacts to transit routes," the National Weather Service warned.

Close to 10 inches of rain fell yesterday in New York’s Hudson Valley, radar showed -- the amount that usually falls throughout the three months of summer.
