Heavy rain caused severe flooding in New York City on October 30, 2025, resulting in at least two deaths. The storm brought record-setting rainfall totals, including 1.83 inches in Central Park, 2.09 inches at LaGuardia Airport, and 2.04 inches at Newark Airport, all breaking previous records dating back to the early to mid-1900s. The intense rain flooded roadways, basements, and subway stations, leading to the deaths of two men found in flooded basements—one in Brooklyn and another in Manhattan. Flights were heavily disrupted at the city's major airports, and a wind advisory remained in effect with gusts up to 50 mph.Authorities issued flash flood warnings across Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan, urging residents, especially those in basements, to seek higher ground. The storm was caused by an inland system unrelated to Hurricane Melissa, which was active in the Caribbean simultaneously. The flooding and strong winds caused significant travel disruptions and property damage.
