There is also the case of Chicago storm & Mayor there - c1979-1980. The result was a new Mayor, (the recently deceased) Jane Byrne.
I wonder why no one is blaming Obama? Isn’t the National Weather Service to blame for calling for 20-30 inches of snow in NYC? That is a massive mistake.
I was in Chicago then - there was a huge scramble to depose then-Mayor Michael Bilandic, who proved to have neither the public relations nor the gumption to govern with the strong hand needed during those few short days when the crisis was at its worse. “Clout” was the term bandied about, and apparently, Mayor Bilandic was decidedly lacking that attribute.
Worst of all, it was just before the primary election to select a Democrat candidate for mayor.
A perfect storm in so many ways for Jane Byrne.
