Vehicles have been submerged on the I-95 in Rhode Island after intense rainfall causes flash floods in the area. An exit of the I-95 in Providence, Rhode Island, has pooled with water on Monday afternoon due to the flash floods, leaving cars completely stuck amidst the chaos. One resident captured footage of the scene from inside their car showing the stalled traffic in both directions. They described 'water up to car doors' and urged people to 'stay home and stay safe'. Another resident shared a video of the scale of the stalled traffic and abandoned cars on the I-95, describing the scenes at a 'total shutdown'. The flash floods have been caused by heavy rainfall across the state - Rhode Island residents and visitors have been urged to avoid unnecessary travel during the intense weather conditions.
