Torrential rains flooded regions surrounding a parking lot along Line Five of the subway system. One passenger recalled the terrifying moment.

"The water level rose to our shoulders," the witness said. "Its impact was so vast that it washed things away easily. Several of us hung in there, including a child.  

"The two of us almost gave up because we were exhausted, but we kept holding tight to the railing with our arms. My arms were injured as a result. Bruises are everywhere. 

"If you didn't hold tight to the railing, you would be washed away easily."
