“Thunderstorms are producing heavy rain. Flash flooding is already happening or expected to begin shortly. Flooding can be deadly and often strikes with little or no warning. Streets, basements, and below-grade spaces can fill with water in minutes,” New York City 311 wrote.

Footage captured terrifying scenes on roadways across New Jersey.

The chaos wasn’t limited to New York City subway stations or New Jersey highways.

Flash flooding caused ground stops at multiple East Coast airports.

More info from The Independent:

At least six East Coast airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport, were forced to ground flights over the storms Monday, causing severe delays and throwing travelers’ plans into chaos.

New York City’s JFK and LaGuardia airports, along with New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, were all under ground stop orders at one point on Monday evening, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Philadelphia International, Baltimore/Washington International Airport, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside D.C. also had flights grounded.

“Flights to airports in New York and Washington DC are currently groundstopped due to thunderstorms. Flights not already in the air are not allowed to depart for JFK, LGA, EWR, IAD, or DCA,” Flightradar24 wrote.

According to the New York Post, the Federal Aviation Administration extended ground stops at more than a dozen major airports from Florida to New York Monday evening.

The New York Post noted:

New York City, which was under a flash flood warning Monday night, is at the epicenter of the chaos as flight delays keep ticking up at JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport.

At JFK, flights are delayed roughly three hours and 15 minutes. LaGuardia, though, is holding all flights until at least 6:15 p.m., according to the FAA airport status.

Meanwhile, Newark International Airport — never letting its New York counterparts outdo it — is holding all flights until at least 7 p.m., with an anticipated three-hour and 21-minute delay on top of that, according to the status tracker.

Other airports experiencing disastrous delays, bleeding into the madness, include Boston Logan International Airport, Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Denver International Airport, and Virginia’s Dulles International Airport.

Florida is expected to be slammed by tropical downpours starting Tuesday and lasting through the week. Separately, a cold front is also pushing storms towards the East Coast, according to AccuWeather.
