New York City floods: State of emergency declared after heavy rains

Torrential rains in the US have lashed New York City and New Jersey, swamping subways, submerging roads and grounding flights.
Officials have declared a state of emergency and have called in the national guard.
The city’s drainage network is not built for the current volume of water, but it is likely going to become the new normal.
