A waterfall formed at a Brooklyn subway station after flash floods hit New York.

Cascades of floodwater temporarily transformed the appearance of a New York City subway station on Thursday, Oct. 30.

An avalanche of water descended through cracks in the ceiling of Brooklyn's Metropolitan Avenue/Lorimer Street station, forming pseudo waterfalls, according to Storyful.

In addition to transit delays and cancellations brought on by the torrential downpour, two people were also found dead in their basements, per the New York Times and ABC News, citing the New York Police Department.

Rainfall in New York 'broke previous records,' emergency officials say

A flash flood warning, amid what the National Weather Service called a "quick-moving" frontal system, was in effect across multiple boroughs, including Brooklyn, Queens, and parts of Manhattan.

The system brought heavy rain, gusty winds and minor coastal flooding to the area through Oct. 30. Similar conditions, minus rain, were expected to continue into Halloween.

According to NYC Emergency Management, rainfall recorded by the weather service in Central Park (1.8 inches) and at LaGuardia Airport (1.97 inches) "broke previous records."
