In case you hadn't noticed, it's a little wet out there today. If you were taking the subway instead of walking at least you were staying dry though, right? Uh...

Our subways are so scenic, like a tropical waterfall. pic.twitter.com/wNFaX4LTIV — Kate Erbland (@katerbland) July 7, 2017

Ah...

Surely this is safe and okay for subway travelers, right @MTA? pic.twitter.com/ZpQmaolAwW — Ambassador Jamilah (@JamilahLemieux) July 7, 2017

Well...

Yes, that is rain inside a NYC subway station pic.twitter.com/ya73zvEGR6 — Zain 📊🇺🇸 (@zain_hoda) July 7, 2017

See the thing is...

My girls commute to work this morning. This station just reopened after a year long renovation. #mta #subway pic.twitter.com/XUS6w8mmXx — Aleksey (@thisisaleksey) July 7, 2017

Oh so you don't want your subways to be on fire, but you also don't want the fire-suppressing power of water to come to your aid either, huh? Cuomo can't win.

Subway waterfalls are of course an occasional fact of life since heavy rain means water pouring in through sidewalk grates. Not that that's any comfort to anyone wondering if they should open their umbrella waiting for the train.

MTA spokesperson Kevin Ortiz emailed Gothamist a statement in which he wrote "During periods of heavy rain, NYC DEP drains backup at street level and the water enters the subway system through grates. DEP was notified, MTA is working with them at the scene."
