Severe flooding in New York, a few hours before the World Championship final Argentina - Spain / The torrential rains also affected the neighboring city, New Jersey

Just a few hours before the World Cup final in football between Argentina and Spain, New York was hit by severe flooding, severely affecting the city's infrastructure. Streets and subway stations were flooded, and road, rail, and air transport were seriously disrupted. In some areas, cars were almost completely covered by water, forcing drivers to abandon them and move forward through the flood.

According to the National Weather Service of the United States, within just a few hours, between 50 and 100 liters of water fell per square meter, causing chaos in the American metropolis. Local authorities issued warnings and mobilized teams to manage the emergency situation.
