Crumbling Roads and Flooded Homes: A Look Inside the Damage From Intense Rain in the Northeast

Chunks of roadways crumbled, drivers were left stranded, and homes flooded as an intense storm barreled through New York on Sunday, leaving at least one dead as the system was expected to shift through New England Monday.

Destruction from the flash floods was particularly devastating across New York's Hudson Valley, especially in Orange County.

Posts on social media showed areas in Highland Falls and West Point where roadways buckled, including on Route 218, which completely fell apart, one video on Twitter shows.

Photos and video captured flooded cars and stranded drivers around the area, with storm surge barreling down the area's hilly streets.

Other posts show homeowners struggling to keep up with flooding.

In a video posted on Twitter by journalist Soledad O'Brien, at least four buckets could not keep pace with rainwater creeping in through her basement window.

As of early Monday morning, at least one woman in her 30s drowned as she was swept away during an evacuation of her home in the Hudson Valley.

Crews were trying to retrieve the woman's body after the flash floods dislodged boulders, which rammed into her house and damaged a portion of its wall, Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus told The Associated Press.

“Her house was completely surrounded by water,” he said.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was scheduled to provide an update on the extreme flooding from Highland Falls at 10:15 a.m. Monday.

According to the MTA, portions of tracks along Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line were washed out from the storm.

The transit agency said it expected to have bus service in lieu of trains operating by 12 p.m. Monday as the damage was assessed.

Videos and photos show flooding had already swept into southern Vermont, including in Ludlow, by 8:30 a.m. Monday.

According to the weather service, rainfall at a rate of one inch per hour is possible in southern New England on late Monday morning and into the early afternoon.
