Heavy rain hit the New York City metro area early Wednesday morning and caused street flooding. More than two inches of rain fell in just a few hours. This was more rain than New Yorkers saw from March 20 to May 7. It was also the single wettest day since Sept. 28, 2012. The worst of the storm was expected to be over by mid-morning.
