Several tornadoes triggered by the massive storm were reported in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

At least eight people were killed in New York during the height of the storm, including three men, three women and a 2-year-old boy died in flooding incidents in the city.

States of emergency have been issued for much of the Northeast, including New York City and surrounding counties, where rainfall rates of as much as 3 inches an hour were reported Wednesday night, Sept. 1.

Flood Warnings remain in effect for much of the region until late Thursday morning.

As the cleanup continues from Ida, skies will gradually become partly sunny and the high temperature will be in the low 70s.
