that were terrorized by remnants of Hurricane Ida
Who writes this crap?
It rained...buckets, true but nothing compared to LA. Even those folks weren’t terrorized...they were devastated and their power grid was shattered all to hell. But they were not curled into little fetal balls...
That didn’t happen til the rain even formerly known as Ida crossed the mason dixon line. And those were mostly newscasters.
Still I would hate to have my home destroyed by a storm named lahr-wee. Laurence, maybe...but not lahr-wee.
they keep showing some brooklyn hell hole with its toilet backing up...lol...oh the humanity!!!!
Actually more rain fell in NY/NJ than in La. The conjunction of the tropical depression getting caught in the 140 mph jetstream while drawing Atlantic moisture generated massive rainfalls in a short period. 3.4 inches in Central Pk in one hour. While hurricane winds were not present the jetstream caused localized wind bursts as well as a few tornadoes. And while the area does not have lowlying lands like the Delta and the area around Pnchatrain, NJ, Westchester, Conn are crisscrossed by many rivers and creeks and are now cresting at rarely seen levels. So while it was an unusual confluence of meteorological events, it was not merely a rainstorm.
