Local perspective:

Video posted on social media appeared to show water flooding down into a Manhattan subway station, submerging the platform while passengers inside a train watched.

Another photo appeared to show passengers standing on a train's seats to avoid the water beginning to soak the floor.

Some of the water actually leaked into the train cars.

Big picture view:

The MTA reported on Monday night that service was disrupted on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 trains. There were also delays on the A, B, C and D trains; parts of the M and the F subway lines were also rerouted.
