    A “state of emergency” has been issued in New York City, with parts of the Big Apple “underwater”.<\/p>\n

    Residents are being asked to move to higher ground as the city finds itself gripped by a series of flash floods. Commuters and residents are facing off against the flooded streets.<\/p>\n

    A total of 34.9cm of rain has fallen on the city, marking it the second-wettest September in 140 years, with New York City only last drenched this badly in 1882 when 42.8cm fell. The driest September of all came just two years later, with just 0.5cm of rain for the month. <\/p>\n

    Brooklyn appears to be the worst-affected area, though experts say it is “no surprise” they have “borne the brunt” of the stormy weather and flash floods so far. <\/p>\n
