New York City, the city that never sleeps, finds itself in the grip of a relentless storm, a tempestuous baptism mirroring a winter nor'easter, albeit sans the snow. New England sits at the bullseye, bearing the brunt with the most monumental rainfalls and gale force winds. The city of dreams, New York City, keeps a keen eye under a flood watch until at least 5 p.m. today, as rivers of chaos and rain disrupt the normal city rhythm.
Images paint a thousand words, and freshly emerging visuals from New Jersey are a sobering testament to the storm's fury--heavy traffic coils out into the distance, baffled and beaten by the sudden downpour, with abandoned cars speckling the asphalt canvas. As of now, the storm has plunged more than 200,000 souls in the realm of darkness, their power snapped like feeble saplings in gusty winds.
