New York City was pummeled with heavy rain and thunderstorms as stranded drivers were forced to seek refuge atop their cars amid the violent flash flooding. Wild footage showed cars being overwhelmed as a deluge of rain was dumped on the city and gusts of up to 60 mph were reported Wednesday evening. Queens native Charlton D’Souza, founder of non-profit organization Passengers United, was on board an MTA bus when the floods hit Queens Village during his commute home.
