New York City is facing sudden floods and severe thunderstorms after days of thick smoke and high heat.

Lower Manhattan and western Brooklyn are experiencing the heaviest rainfall, with water flooding cars near a highway and people wading in waist-deep water.

The storm has caused delays and cancellations at LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy, and Newark airports, all just one day before the start of the World Cup final

for football in New Jersey.
