New York City was pummeled with heavy rain and thunderstorms, leaving stranded drivers forced to seek refuge atop their cars amid violent flash flooding.

Wild footage showed commuters being swept off their feet and cars being overwhelmed as the deluge of rain and 60-mph winds battered the city late Wednesday.

Storm warnings were in place across New York City — but Queens felt the brunt of the tempest with 2.57 inches reported in Bellerose, according to Fox Weather meteorologist Christopher Tate.
