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.

CNN reported that the New York Police Department announced the death of seven people, including a two-year-old, declaring the reason as heavy floods in the city. The floods also killed one person in Passaic City, New Jersey, according to the city's mayor.

The National Weather Service issued at least 5 flash flood warnings for the region spanning from Philadelphia to northern New Jersey.

Record hurricanes were recorded in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, killing a 19-year-old and resulting in another going missing after a building was flooded.
