The death toll of Hurricane Ida, which affected the Northeast United States, rose to over 49.

The waterfloods caused by the hurricane submerged cars and the subway in New York City, leading to their closure. Non-emergency vehicles were forbidden from being on the road.

Emergency responders conducted rescue operations, pulling hundreds of people out of apartment buildings and cars amid fears of a death toll increase.

Many homes were affected by the waterfloods as they swept through Pennsylvania, causing massive damages.

New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio, had announced a state of emergency two days ago after heavy rainfall flooded the city.
