Well, this is really going to put a crimp in our daggering plans: the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx and Brooklyn this afternoon. It's already flooding in parts of Queens, as you can see in videos and photos below, delaying US Open matches. The warning lasts at least through 3 p.m., so try to stay off the roads if you can and plan ahead accordingly—at the same time, this is just some rain. Don't let yourself be freaked out and bullied by your cell phone like Adam Levine.

It's raining so hard that the only thing the umbrella kept dry was my head.

Out for lunch when a bunch of iphones went off with loud flash flood alarm. That's the apocalypse folks. Our phones being used against us.

Flash flood warning is pretty much a sign from the deities that I should not leave this couch today.

Everyone in NYC just got crazy loud flash flood warning on phone. Recently was at a wedding where that happened. During groom's speech. Fun!
