Heavy Rains Pound New York City, Flooding Subway Stations and Roads
More than a dozen people were rescued from a flooded highway in the Bronx, and flash flood watches remained in place thanks to Tropical Storm Elsa.

Heavy rains continued to spill through New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on Friday morning as Tropical Storm Elsa made its way up the Northeast coast.

After a night of relentless storms and mass flooding, tropical storm warnings and flash flood watches were in place until Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. The storm is expected to pass through southern New England with winds up to 50 miles per hour, prompting flood warnings until 4 p.m. for parts of Massachusetts.

In Westernville, N.Y., in Oneida County, severe thunderstorms uprooted trees, ripped out roofs and downed power lines, according to posts on social media Friday morning. The National Weather Service will conduct a survey Friday to determine whether the storms were actually part of a tornado.

Connecticut was hit with major floods Friday morning as several inches of water filled the streets of Hartford and downtown New Haven. In West Haven, Metro North service was suspended after rainfall caused a landslide near the tracks.

Nassau County on Long Island issued an advisory against bathing at 17 of its beaches prone to elevated bacteria levels during heavy rainfall, which can increase storm water runoff.

And in New York City and its suburbs, heavy rains prompted the police to rescue more than a dozen people from one flooded stretch of highway on Thursday and forced would-be subway riders to navigate waist-deep waters on their way into one Upper Manhattan station.

Videos posted on Twitter showed several subway stations taking on water — some from above, some from below. The No. 1 station at Broadway and 157th Street in Manhattan appeared to suffer the most dire effects of the storm, with some passengers opting to wade through filthy water on their way to the platform.

Transit officials, already girding for Elsa’s arrival, said they had crews out across the city addressing the flooding problems as quickly as possible and warned against entering stations that might still be inundated.

“Drains are working remarkably well,” Sarah Feinberg, the interim president of New York City Transit, which operates the subway, said in a message on Twitter.

The agency’s crews, she added, were “as always, working hard and fast and doing great work. Give them room to work and be safe.”

Subway service itself was largely uninterrupted, with only the northernmost end of the A line shut down as a result of the rains, officials said.

In an interview, Ms. Feinberg said the flooding of stations on Thursday was a result of a confluence of factors: underground drains being overwhelmed by the ferocity of the rain; vents and stairways serving as conduits for the same reason; and street-level flooding spilling over curbs and down into the subway.

She also said that the rain’s impact on Upper Manhattan was unusual.

“What was different about this storm was that we got pounded by rain in places that don’t typically flood,” she said, adding that while A train service from 181st Street to 207th Street was still suspended as of 8:30 p.m., the flooding problems at 157th Street had largely been cleared several hours earlier.

Ms. Feinberg also urged users of the subway to put their safety first, to be patient and not to try to enter stations that appeared impassable.

Responding to a video of the scene at that station earlier Thursday, Eric Adams, the newly declared winner of the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, took aim at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the parent of Ms. Feinberg’s agency, in a message on Twitter.

Mr. Adams also called for the adoption of a languishing plan that would enact congestion pricing, charging motorists who enter Midtown Manhattan as a way of giving the transportation authority a financial infusion.

“This is what happens,” Mr. Adams wrote, when the authority “makes bad spending decisions for decades. We need congestion pricing $ ASAP to protect stations from street flooding, elevate entrances and add green infrastructure to absorb flash storm runoff. This cannot be New York.”

It is not possible to immediately draw a connection between one heavy downpour and climate change. Climate scientists may try to do that, by undertaking what is known as an attribution study, in the coming weeks or months.

But the United States and other parts of the world have already seen an increase in the frequency of extreme rainstorms as the world warms. And the frequency is likely to increase as warming continues. One basic reason is that warmer air holds more moisture.

Even on a dry day, water is a threat to a subway system that runs on electrical power. And floods caused by broken water mains and natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy periodically swamp the subway, which is bored through layers of stone, traverses stopped-up natural springs and is surrounded by groundwater.

Local highways faced their own problems on Thursday, with the most serious on a section of the Major Deegan Expressway near East 179th Street in the Bronx. Police officers used a barrier truck to rescue more than a dozen people after their cars got caught in the fast-rising waters, officials said.

Joe Pollina, a Weather Service meteorologist, described the day’s storms as “severe” and potentially dangerous because of the potential for flash floods.

“You could be in trouble if you get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Mr. Pollina said.

Both the transportation authority and New York City Transit had put various measures in place for the storm’s arrival.

Those steps included banning empty tractor-trailers and other trucks on some bridges starting at midnight and deploying crews at key points in the subway system and the authority’s commuter rail lines, the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North, to ensure that trains kept running throughout the day, officials said.

The storm’s imminent arrival prompted the closing of New York City’s mobile coronavirus vaccination sites on Friday, officials said.

Foreign AffairsPhilippines Plane Crash - At Least 50 Dead, Dozens Injured by Ogbenia(op): 7:42am On Jul 05, 2021

Manila, Philippines (CNN)Fifty people were killed when a Philippine Air Force plane crashed in the southern Philippines on Sunday, the country's worst military air disaster in decades.

The C-130 military plane was transporting troops from Cagayan de Oro, in Mindanao, to Sulu province when it missed the runway on the island of Jolo, CNN affiliate CNN Philippines reported, citing Armed Forces Chief Cirilito Sobejana.
Smoke billows from the crash site in Patikul village, Jolo in the southern Philippines on July 4, 2021.
Smoke billows from the crash site in Patikul village, Jolo in the southern Philippines on July 4, 2021.
The plane, which was carrying 96 military personnel and crew, crashed into nearby Patikul village at 11:30 a.m. local time on Sunday (11:30 p.m. ET).
"Minutes after the crash, troops and civilian volunteers rushed to the site for search and rescue. Per eyewitnesses, a number of soldiers were seen jumping out of the aircraft before it hit the ground sparing them from from the explosion caused by the crash," according to a press release by Joint Task Force Sulu.
All victims have now been accounted for. Maj. Gen. Edgard Arevalo, a spokesman for the military, said 47 army personnel died, while 49 survived the crash and are being treated in hospitals. Three civilians on the ground were killed and four were injured, Arevalo said.
He added that the soldiers on the flight were fresh graduates and had just completed military training.
An investigative team arrived Monday to look for the plane's flight data recorder and probe what caused the crash. They will also look into the reports of soldiers jumping from the plane.

Images from a local TV station appeared to show the burning wreck of the plane and thick smoke billowing from the village. A large plume of smoke is seen in images of the crash rising up through the palms to the blue sky.
Joint Task Force Sulu Commander William N Gonzales said the personnel traveling on the plane "were supposed to report to their battalions today. They were supposed to join us in our fight against terrorism."

This is the country's worst military air disaster in around 30 years, Reuters reported. In 1993, a Philippine Air Force C-130 crashed, killing 30 people.
The Lockheed Martin C-130 aircraft had recently arrived in the Philippines. It was one of two aircraft granted by the US government's military financing program, according to a US government website announcement in February.
The plane was considered to be in good condition. It had 11,000 flying hours left before it was due for maintenance.
All C-130s in the Philippines will now be grounded as part of the military's standard operating procedure. However, the military only has one other C-130 in the country -- the other two in the fleet are overseas for maintenance.
Rescuers search for bodies at the site where the plane crashed.

Sunday's crash comes weeks after a newly acquired S-70i Black Hawk utility helicopter crashed during a night flight about 60 miles north of the capital Manila. All six people on board died, according to CNN Philippines.
It was one of a number of new combat utility helicopters bought by the armed forces in its bid to modernize its fleet, according to a Philippine government website.
The military personnel were supposed to bolster the battalions fighting against Abu Sayyaf, a Filipino jihadi group based in Sulu that has been involved in bomb attacks and piracy for decades. The group proclaimed allegiance to ISIS in 2014.
