NYC came to a halt this morning; torrential rains came early this morning causing flooding to the city's underground world. Subway lines and commuter rails either shut down completely or slowed to an excruciating crawl. The normal 30-60 minute commute became the one and a half hour - three-hour commute, with some passengers just giving up and calling it a day.
People became surprisingly more alert and social on the platforms, many in need of venting to the nearest listening ear, while others were just happy tourists wanting to talk, relieved to not have to stare once again, at the same old advertisement.
When the rains stopped NYC’s underground turned into an intense heat wave not unlike a sauna adding more un-pleasantries to this disordered day. Lucky for us, tomorrow is a new day. And the beauty in rain, is it makes for great photographs.
