Live Updates: Ida's remnants inundate Northeast

The remnants of Hurricane Ida took lives, spurred water rescues, swamped roadways and set rainfall records as the system swept up East Coast late Wednesday into the overnight hours Thursday.

The deluge was being blamed for at least five deaths, including that of a 70-year-old man Passaic, New Jersey Mayor Hector Lora said was swept away by floodwaters. Divers were searching for other possible victims. Lora ordered the evacuation of downtown Passaic early Thursday due to the rising level of the Passaic River. New York's Central Park got 3.15 inches of rain between 8:51 p.m. and 9:51 p.m., breaking a mark set in the early 1900s for the most ever for an hour in the city, according to CBS News weather producer David Parkinson.
