Over 80mm rain fell in 60 minutes
A 2 year-old boy is one of 14 people who are believed to have died, after flash flooding in New York.
New York City has suffered its wettest hour on record, while a state of emergency has been declared as Storm Ida sparks flash floods.
More than 80mm of rain fell in Central Park the space of 60 minutes - passing the previous record of 49mm that was set in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Henri just last month.
At least 1 person has drowned - and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut are also under a flash flood warning.
