Central Park Lake Bursts Banks In Storm: VIDEO

CENTRAL PARK, NY — Central Park is generally a great place to take a stroll. But one New Yorker found out that doesn't really hold up in a Flash Flood.

In addition to several other areas in New York City, Central Park was subject to flooding and massive pools of water. One person walking through the park shot video of the Harlem Meer Lake, located in the northeast corner of the park, which showed the body of water spilling over onto nearby paths.

"I wondered why I was literally the only person crossing Central Park," Twitter user "Seva" wrote.

Check out the video below:

A powerful storm slammed New York City Monday morning with high winds and rain that will likely continue throughout the day. The storm has put the five boroughs under a flash flood warning until 2:15 p.m.

Up to two inches of rain had already fallen across the area as of 11:21 a.m., with about half an inch more expected to hit Central Park by late Monday night, according to the National Weather Service. Monday marks the start of what could be a very rainy week. There's a chance of rain every day but Wednesday, when the sun will make an appearance, according to the NWS forecast.
