Heavy rain caused flash flooding in the US Northeast on Monday (July 10) that washed out roads, overflowed rivers, forced several rescue boats and killed a woman who was swept away in front of her groom, officials said.
Footage from Sunday showed dozens of cars stuck on a road in Orange County, New York, as police and emergency crews rushed to rescue motorists using ropes.
More than 13 million Americans are under flood warnings from eastern New York state to Boston and western Maine in the northeast, the National Weather Service said, after storms that began at the end of week floods rivers and streams.
