The Washington Post covered the story too:
The remnants of Hurricane Ida unloaded a historic deluge in New York City and the surrounding area on Wednesday night, triggering states of emergencies in New York and New Jersey and leading to at least five deaths.
The torrent left New York City in a standstill, with most subway lines shut down and a travel ban prohibiting all non-emergency vehicles from roads until 5 a.m. Nearly 250,000 people in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey were without power as of early Thursday and at least four people have died in New York and at least one has died in New Jersey.
