When It Rains It Pours
Yesterday saw the tri-state region get pummeled by rain with many spots getting multiple inches of it. Sadly when such heavy rain occurs, NYC Subway riders expect to see flooded stations & big leaks. These expectations were sadly met as multiple stations throughout the system had their share of issues.
Here is the big example of what a disaster the rain was to the subway as a video posted to Twitter by Josh Guild went viral with over 1M views:

I understand such things occur from time to time in terms of heavy rain as it is mother nature after all. However I have seen lesser storms produce flooding & leaking issues at subway stations including ones that were newly reconstructed & revitalized. So this is an issue the MTA needs to address as it is 100% inexcusable for riders to have to deal with such conditions.
