Severe weather and flash flooding has hit New York City, leaving motorists stranded in water and subway stations submerged, even as Tropical Storm Elsa prepares to pound the region.
As shocking videos emerged showing New Yorkers wading through filthy waist-deep water to catch a train, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in on Twitter to blame 'fossil fuel execs' and promote her Green New Deal as the solution to severe weather.
The thunderstorms that brought large hail to parts of New Jersey and spurred flash flooding in Manhattan are unrelated to Elsa, which hit the DC area on Thursday night as it heads towards NYC.

Damn we’re stupid.
Tell me how global warming stopped the city workers from manning and repairing the pumps. The city is breaking down.
NYC infrastructure is not well maintained. Again, bad weather is the cause.
Flood damaged insurance writeoffs hitting the used car market in 3.2.1....
I grew up in southeastern Queens. After Hurricane Donna the streets were flooded because they used electric pumps for the storm drains (water was pumped into the ocean) and the electric lines were down. After Gloria they replaced the electric pumps with diesel. Just wait till they rely on solar and wind.
AGW doesn’t cause flash floods.
So we should do AOC’s equivalent of Mao’s Great Leap Forward, risking millions of lives, just because the global temp is going up a couple of degrees?
Highly doubtful that woman has a job much less is swimming to it. With water that high, it’d be over the roof of the subway cars but, hey, the msm always tells the truth.

AOC blamed the severe weather on ‘fossil fuel execs’ and said her green New Deal was the solution.
Didn't know the trains are able to run under water.
General comments:
1st, couldn’t happen to a better area. Drown ‘em.
2nd, storms ahead of a hurricane eye ARE because of the hurricane. Common to have tnados scampering all over the place. That is one reason to run for it a day before.
3rd, I hope Elsa stalls right over Manhattan. It will clean the drains and streets. I used to live in Houston, Tx back in ‘80’s. Had two tropical storms, not hurricanes! First one stalled above city and dumped >40” of rain. Second did ~36”. Wow. It was like someone had power washed the area.

In the past such autos would be sent to scrappers in Missouri where, instead of scrapping them, they would be cleaned, then sent down into Arkansas where for $45 you can get a new clean title showing they had never been wrecked or flooded.
“Climate change” did this ... or was it the covid cooties? Perhaps secondhand smoke or ozone depletion was the cause. Whatever it is, the Democrat/communist/Left will save us (but only those with the “ups” ... you know, only those deserving citizens who mask up and “jab” up. The only “up” discouraged by the Democrat/communist/Left is the one beginning with “shut”)
liberals wading thru their own feces
sounds like something they’d enjoy
