New York declared a state of emergency early Thursday morning as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic were slammed by torrential rain from the remnants of Ida, causing heavy flooding and reports of numerous water rescues.
The storm moved into the region after hitting Louisiana on Sunday, August 29, as a Category 4 hurricane.
