After ravishing Louisiana and parts of the south, remnants of Hurricane Ida have hit the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The storms have resulted in intense flooding in the New York City areas. According to CNN, at least nine people in New York and New Jersey have died.

Wednesday night has seen rain at alarming rates, dumping several inches per hour on the area. Images and videos online show massive flooding and water submerging basements, streets, and the subway.

All subways in New York City were without service overnight, and residents across the area were confined to their homes.

“New York is used to disasters, but you cannot imagine how much rain fell out of the heavens last night,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said to CNN. “There’s going to be a massive cleanup. I would urge people to stay home, check on your neighbors, make sure they’re OK.”

Of the dead, eight were in Queens as a result of flooded homes. A man in New Jersey was found dead in his vehicle that was overtaken by floodwaters.

Over seven inches of rain was recorded at New York City’s Central Park, and a tornado with multiple vortexes touched down in New Jersey, 25 miles from Philadelphia.

Flooding also impacted Philadelphia. In the Roxborough area, 41 people were rescued from a school bus.

Bonnaroo Festival Canceled Due to Impact of Hurricane Ida

Fans looking to experience the return of the Bonnaroo Music Festival will have to wait a while longer. The festival is canceled this year due to Hurricane Ida’s impact.

“We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo,” the festival tweeted. “While this weekend’s weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely.”

Bonnaroo added, “we have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward, but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event happen safely and in a way that lives up to the Bonnaroo experience.”

This year’s festival was set to be headlined by Tyler, the Creator, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Lil Baby, and more. Refunds will be issued through Front Gate Tickets in as little as 30 days via the original method of payment.
