Soho was a no-go on Saturday.
The bustling streets of Soho turned into an underwater nightmare Saturday as heavy rain battered the Big Apple causing severe flooding across the city.
Shocking video obtained by The Post shows the usually busy intersection of West Broadway and Grand Street in Soho inundated with heavy flood waters.
Several cars, including ambitious taxi drivers, can be seen cautiously driving through the flooded streets trying to make their way out of the underwater mess — while pedestrians were trapped with some using garbage bags as protection against the rising water.
Taylor Prokes, 35, lives above Felix Bar & Restaurant and captured the now-viral video of Soho’s flooded intersection of West Broadway and Grand Street from her apartment building.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. It was madness,” Prokes told The Post.
“People started walking out of the pancake shop with garbage bags over their legs because the pancake shop started flooding.”
Tringa H, who works as the manager at Felix Bar & Restaurant agreed with Prokes and said that she has never seen flooding this bad in the Big Apple before.
“Never, ever in my life…I mean, besides Hurricane Sandy, have I seen a flood like this before in Soho, ever,” Trigna said, noting that she had lived in New York her entire life.
Despite the chaos, Tringa said the temporary flooding “was kind of fun,” adding that “nothing stops people from coming to Felix, nothing at all.”
“They were pulling their pans up, pulling their skirts up, and walking in filthy water to come in. It was amazing,” the 32-year-old said of Felix’s loyal customer base.
Sally Louhibi, 45, was enjoying the France and England World Cup game at Felix when the shopping district started to go underwater.
“I feel like that the world was exploding because France should be in the final tomorrow,” Sally quipped, referring to the floodwaters rising during the match.
“The whole street emptied out and the cars couldn’t really move and people across the road were trying to walk out in garbage bags, which is really quite embarrassing,” she told The Post.
“I don’t know what’s going on in New York,” she said. “We had that terrible snow storm and then this!”
Her husband, Chierif Louhibi, 51, who has lived in the neighborhood for over a decade was also schoked by the swollen streets, adding that he had “never seen anything like this.”
According to witnesses nearby, flood waters started to rise in the ritzy shopping and dining district around 12:15 p.m. Saturday and had stopped by 2 p.m.
By 2:30 p.m. the water had completely drained.
Flash flooding warnings were issued across all five boroughs Saturday as heavy downpour forced ground stops at the city’s busiest airports and shut down major expressways.
The heaviest rain fell across lower Manhattan and western Brooklyn and Queens, according to the city’s Office of Emergency Management.
