NYC tristate getting hammered again.   Ground already logged from Henri and this is much more rain in a shorter period.  

The images from New York are insane.

That is insane.

Yeah, it was bad.   Par for the course on our block, made it through 95% of the storm, and on its way out it knocked down a maple into the power lines.  

 

No power meant no sump pump and some water in Bsmt. Fired up the generator this morning and it was a literal river coming out of the pump. 

 

Luckily PSEG was in the area early and we should be up and running.

 Watch stunning video of a tornado ripping across New Jersey.

Jaw-dropping videos emerged on social media on Wednesday night amid a “historical flood and tornado event” in New Jersey.

 

As the remnants of Hurricane Ida slammed the Northeast on Wednesday, the National Weather Service confirmed that a “large and destructive tornado was observed over Beverly in Burlington County,” NJ.com reports. Several videos apparently showed a tornado passing over the Burlington-Bristol Bridge, though NJ.com writes it “might not have touched down to become an official tornado.”

If Al Gore was right, you know we can't blame it on Trump, don't you

They're not covering it because NYC is the center of their universe, so they're covering the flooding there.

 

Once they're done sensationalizing that, they'll cover NOLA...and blame it on Congressional Republicans obstructing passage of the infrastructure bill needed to repair the electrical grid.  Probably see that start Tuesday.

Conditions at multiple New Orleans senior centers where five people were found dead and hundreds more were evacuated after Hurricane Ida were “unacceptable,” Mayor LaToya Cantrell said Monday.
 

The deaths, announced in a statement Sunday by city officials, were discovered at eight senior apartment complexes during post-hurricane “wellness checks.”

About 600 people were evacuated Saturday from eight privately run centers across the city, which were ordered shuttered, officials said. The facilities were “deemed unfit for ongoing occupancy,” the statement said.
 

Four deaths were recorded at the buildings. Two other centers were ordered closed Friday after a person was found dead, the statement said.

The coroner’s office is investigating what caused the deaths.
 

Officials shuttered seven nursing homes in metro New Orleans when they discovered that 843 patients had been moved to a single warehouse in Tangipahoa Parish, north of New Orleans, before Ida roared ashore Aug. 29.
 

Seven people died after the move, with five of the deaths classified as storm-related.
