A deluge of rain turned the city’s subway system into straphanger soup during the morning rush hour Monday — with dozens of riders sharing images of water pouring into stations and complaining of delays.

Central Park recorded 3.28 inches of rain by noon — and more showers forecast for Tuesday, Accuweather reported.

Commuting chaos hit more than a dozen lines Monday morning as rain flooded the transit system, creating waterfalls on subway station platforms and pools of water inside some Long Island Rail Road train cars.

Like every other person in the city I woke up to what felt like 8 flash flood alerts, and immediately saw the news that subway stations were rapidly flooding from all the rain we got last night.This is my line in the sand. I understand that these subways need a power wash but you couldn’t pay me enough money to go into a flooding subway station. That’s nightmare material. Look I know I’m going to die some day. I know it’s probably going to be an anonymous end. Whatever, please, oh please, just don’t let me die in the fucking subway. Drowning in the subway is maybe my least preferred manner of meeting my end that I can think of. Just let me make it to the top of the stairs; that's all I ask.

If you get to the subway stairs and it's a waterfall, you turn the fuck around and walk the other ay. If the subway is flooding you take a cab to work. If you can’t afford a cab then you walk. There’s a point where you have to draw the line and this is it.

You can’t descend underground, stand shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people in a growing puddle of your own filth and still call yourself a person. You put yourself through that and you come out with a whole bunch of WWI diseases. Gangrene, trench foot, the plague, who knows how many diseases are lurking in our dark shadows, just waiting for nature to add water. Enough is enough. This city asks a lot of us, but this is too much. You gotta know when to say no.
