| NYC gets flushed |

| The usual Daily Mail photos and videos of flooding in subway, tunnels, and low-lying areas. [Daily Mail, where America get its news] New York City's party-loving Mayor Eric Adams was skewered this morning after taking nearly four hours to issue a shelter-in-place or give any guidance on a fast-escalading flash flood disaster. The rain, a hangover from Tropical Storm Ophelia, is some of the worst seen in New York City since Hurricane Ida in 2021, when 13 people drowned in basement apartments after being caught off-guard. While NYC emergency Twitter accounts had been warning about the rain on Thursday, it wasn't until after rush hour on Friday morning that emergency alerts were sent to residents' phones. Brooklyn saw a day's worth of rain in just three hours, which is expected one every 100 years. Adams didn't make an appearance until 11am. He had been partying last night at a secret fundraiser thrown for him by Friends of Eric Adams, to which 'suggested donations' were $2,100-a-pop. Some 23million people are now under a flood warning across the tri-state area and entire streets in Brooklyn are underwater. Many have shared images of basements flooded, and LaGuardia's Terminal A is under water. |

| #1 Abbott's fault for sure. I have to ask. So these people go about talking how much smarter they are than anyone else, why they should be in charge. So this late warning is on purpose then? |
