Took me two hours to get to work today... It was entertaining I guess, to see the mass of human traffic try to make it into the city. I think it will only be entertaining this one time, I hope the make some infrastructure upgrades soon.
Here is a NYT article that captures the morning...

Heavy Rains Causing Transit Delays in New York
NEW YORK (AP) -- Flights were delayed at the area's three major airports and commuters were unable to get to work early Wednesday after torrential rain caused flooding on rail lines and subways.
Most subway lines in the city were experiencing delays or diversions, and there was no Metro North rail service to Grand Central Station on some lines.
For a brief time, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau County on Long Island and southern Somerset County in New Jersey. The thunderstorms also caused flooding in parts of New Jersey.
There were delays of up to an hour and a half at John F. Kennedy International Airport and about an hour at LaGuardia due to the earlier storms, said Alan Hicks, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
There was also some flooding on the roads leading to LaGuardia, traffic delays getting to the terminals.
The morning's climatic drama was expected to give way to an afternoon sizzle as the moisture from the rainstorm sent humidity levels up, the National Weather Service said.
The agency issued a heat advisory that warned of temperatures that could climb to 101 degrees because of the muggy weather.
"I can't believe it's going to get hotter, it's so sticky out," Linda Chapman, 59, told The Daily News in Wednesday editions, after learning that Monday would be hotter than the day before -- which had soared into the low-90s.
"If it's over 100, I may not leave the house at all," said the Manhattan resident."
