    killed at least 13 people in New York City, mostly in flooded basement apartments.

    That’s some nightmare fuel

      Important to note quote is referring to the last flood.

      No fatalities with this flood, people heeded the warning.

      What could have been a life-threatening event was averted, she said, because many people heeded early calls to stay put or head for higher ground before it was too late. As a result, Hochul said, “No lives were lost.”

    I’m starting to think climate change is going to necessitate a total rebuild of all water-related infrastructure, as well as anything that can be affected by excessive precipitation. Do basements even make sense in this new world?

    Really disappointing that How To with John Wilson ended as a series just before this happened.

    Would have loved to see the episode about this.
