Motorists take it easy through this underpass at Queens Blvd., and Horace Harding Blvd., August 12, 1955, Long Island, New York. New York City was hit by Hurricane Connie, causing the heaviest rains of the year. The weather bureau reported 4.61-inches during a 17-hour period beginning at 8 p.m., Aug. 11. Many cellars were flooded and roofs made dangerous heavy by the weight of the water, and motor cars stacked along highways leading to the city. (Photo by John Lent/AP Photo)
