Flash flood warnings were issued for New York City and New Jersey on Monday as a result of heavy rainfall that swept over the northern US. Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey declared a state of emergency and issued flash flood warnings for all of these cities. Several footage posted on social media sites demonstrate how the unexpected floods caused significant flooding in the streets.

In the meantime, internet users are already comparing New York City to Gurugram. After heavy rains pounded the city over the past week, causing widespread floods, traffic jam across both posh and suburban neighbourhoods, Gurugram came to a complete halt. Like NYC, there are a lot of videos on social media that depicts the miserable state of the city.

The internet had many videos comparing the state of these two cities. A user noted, “THIS IS NOT #Gurugram, THIS IS NEW-JERSEY., The Administration’s response planning and standards would not be the same as Gurgaon. Heavy flooding due to torrential rainfall in NJ, USA (14.07.2025) Nature is a big force; temporary flooding can happen in the best-planned city, too. #GurugramRains Not taking away the fact that our administration has not performed up to mark.”
