All you can do at that point is max braking and hope for the best. Too slow to take off again, steer into the weeds at those speeds you kill even more people.
They also might not have seen the thing. In those conditions all the wipers do on a plane is smear the water into a slightly easier to see through film. Rain makes the light bend and contract, LGA is always packed too, there's lights everywhere from the ground and other planes, especially flashing lights from a convoy of emergency vehicles.
