In New York City all previous records of rainfall was shattered, more than three inches of rain fell in one hour, turning streets and highways into rivers, drowning people in their basements, and shutting down the airport and subway.

The storm destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes in Pennsylvania and caused more than 100 million dollars in public infrastructure damage. It shut down almost all of the Gulf coast oil production accounting for about 15% of the US total.
