A Queens highway was left underwater, trapping a semi-truck and other vehicles, on Thursday afternoon as torrential rain stormed into the area — prompting Gov. Hochul to declare a statement of emergency for the Big Apple. Shocking footage of the flooding on parts of the Clearview Expressway, near Northern Boulevard, were posted on X and the highway was subsequently closed in both directions, according to the NYPD.
