Shocking new video showed the streets of Soho underwater as New York City was blasted with heavy rain and flash floods.
The bustling shopping district of Soho was hit particularly hard, temporarily transforming busy city streets into hazardous waterways.
As per reports from eyewitnesses, the intersection of West Broadway and Grand Street started to become heavily inundated at about 12:15 pm, trapping pedestrians and submerging cars.
Desperate onlookers were seen wrapping garbage bags around their legs to navigate through knee-deep water while others sought refuge inside local establishments. Soon after that, customers at Felix Bar and Restaurant continued to watch the France vs England World Cup match despite the chaos that arose outside.
Longtime residents noted how they had not witnessed such flooding of this intensity since Hurricane Sandy arose.
