Batten down the hatches — the Big Apple faces a greater rise in the risk of catastrophic hurricane damage over the next 30 years than any other city in the nation.
By 2053, New York City will see a 302% increase in average annual losses as climate change intensifies the power of tropical storms, the nonprofit First Street Foundation predicts in a hyper-local analysis of more than 50,000 likely storm tracks.
“We’re more likely to see storms that actually hold together and maintain hurricane-strength winds by the time they reach New York City,” said Dr. Jeremy Porter, First Street’s head of climate implications research.
A severe 2053 hurricane would inundate Manhattan’s historic South Street Seaport with a 5-foot-high storm surge and buffet it with 86-mph winds, Porter predicts.
The beloved downtown landmark and other waterfront spots throughout the city will see flooding increase by about a foot and winds intensify by up to 20 mph over the next three decades, the study found.
If a 1-in-100-year hurricane hits this year, for example, Coney Island’s iconic boardwalk would be slammed by a 5.4-foot storm surge and whipped by 106-mph winds.
But by 2053, such a gale would bring wind speeds of 123 mph, drowning the deck in 6.6 feet of water.

Freeze the pecan off their latest shipment of “refreegeez”.
They forgot to add how this will hurt people of color and woman worst and how it is the Christian white males’ fault.
The propogandist are slipping.
A 50 year prediction.
Yeah, just like all the previous predictions about climate-change/global-warming, that have all come true and now, the world is dying of overheating and plants and animals are all dead or close to extinction.
But, NYC going into extinction is a good thing. Let’s have more devastating climate change predictions, and the blue areas should be disappearing pretty soon.
And we all know how accurate that previous climate fear porn researcher forecasts have been. Let’s do some research and see if we can find just one that actually came close to being correct.
AND!!
There is a great tectonic fault that runs all along the west bank of the Hudson River This dangerous fault is responsible for the uplift on the Jersey side known as the Pallisades!!\
This dangerous and powerful fault has been quiet for many years — BUT! These predicted strong storms could both lubricate and infiltrate this dangerous fault, loosening it to the breaking point!
If so, then a Great NYC Earthquake could result of as much as 8.5 on the Richter scale, and the buildings in NYC would topple over each other like a geat domino display, potentially killing MILLIONS of people IN A SINGLE HOUR, as it says (somewhere) in the prophecies of Relvelations!!!
Be afraid, people... Very, very afraid...
“...A severe 2053 hurricane would inundate Manhattan’s historic South Street Seaport with a 5-foot-high storm surge and buffet it with 86-mph winds...”
He is totally wrong!!!!
Surge is going to be 5.4 ft high and winds are 88-mph...
At risk are the Federal Reserve gold vaults that are below seas level.
The location in lower Manhattan has always been a risk. The reality was noted with the hurricane that destroyed Staten Island buildings at risk in a tidal zone
“...predicts in a hyper-local analysis...”
Still using the same ‘ole fake weather models for the MSM and collective dumbasses out there.
These people and organizations should be held Criminally and Civilly liable for any injury or loss to a citizen as a result of any law, statute or regulation is put in place as a result of these predictions, if their predictions fail to come true.
At risk of tin foiling, are we quite certain that the US gold that is SUPPOSED to be in those vaults is in fact actually there today? Has there ever been a public audit of it?
The predictions of the ignorant.
Can we add Cali?
Tell us Kay, what is the weather going to be a month from now? If you are wrong, will you retract your silly claim about 50 years from now?
Actually, US gold is not really at issue. The gold in the vaults is the gold of many nations. The gold is used for settlement of international balance of payments.
All of it?
Don’t mess with Mother Nature.
Thank you. I never had a clear concept of the gold reserves here. And elsewhere.
