Parts of New York City saw record rainfall on Thursday, and the deluge flooded some streets and subway stations. 

According to NYC Emergency Management, the National Weather Service reported that 1.8 inches of rain fell in Central Park on Thursday. That would preliminarily break the previous known record set in 1917, the department said.  

The NWS also reported that 1.97 inches of rain fell at LaGuardia Airport, which would preliminarily break the previous known record set in 1955, the department said.

Flash flood warnings had been issued Thursday evening for the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.

Video captured submerged vehicles and water gushing into some subway stations in Brooklyn, as well as flooded streets in Queens.

More than 1,000 flights have been canceled in the U.S., mostly in the Northeast, according to FlightAware. John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, both in Queens, were also experiencing ground delays due to wind.

The rain and wind are not from Hurricane Melissa, which battered the Caribbean this week, but from an inland storm system moving throughout the Northeast. The storm is one of the factors keeping Melissa away from the U.S.

After bringing heavy rain to New York City on Thursday afternoon, the storm system is expected to move into New England overnight.

Much of the Northeast is expected to be drier but blustery by Halloween.
