Due to “extreme rainfall,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency Friday morning, urging over 8.5 million people to stay safe and avoid traveling on flooded roads." https://www.forbes.com/sites/ariannajohnson/2023/09/29/new-york-city-on-track-for-record-breaking-rainfall-and-flooding-heres-how-climate-change-might-play-a-role/?sh=73c3e9d8527b

“We are not fixing things at the pace our #climate is changing and that’s going to continue to be a challenge every time we get one of these rain storms or #hurricanes." #NYC - as lots of other places - urgently needs serious upgrades to its #stormwater infrastructure. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/nyc-flooding-climate-change-infrastructure-limitations-rcna118170
