An entire block in Queens was destroyed, with barely any of the home owner's valuables left to save. As Ida moves north, with more and more rainfalls, people are unprepared for the damages they'll face. As of Wednesday, 40 are dead, 13 being from New York.

This is really scary and seems to have left a lot of families devastated. Hopefully some aid efforts can help the people impacted by the flooding?

This story is really well reported, and the photographer did a great job capturing the moment that the article talked about. It never ceases to amaze me how fragile our system is - always just a disaster away from financial ruin

This is scary

What is normally a routine storm for Louisianans has become a massive crisis due to climate change.

With another rainstorm and hurricane immediately following the aftermath of Ida, we are all seeing how climate change is affecting the world. I am curious what plans politicians can make for future events, in addition to all the relief efforts.

I am also very curios to see what schemes (not using the word in a pejorative sense here) the politicians draw up to protect hundreds and hundreds of miles of coast from flooding. Also, what type of infrastructure can you build that stops natural floods that are simply caused by heavy rain? At a certain point it seems like nature is trying to tell us to get more flexible...

You are curious to see what plans "the politicians draw up to protect hundreds and hundreds of miles of coast from flooding. Also, what type of infrastructure can you build that stops natural floods that are simply caused by heavy rain?" See, that's the thing. The rising tides cannot be held back for long. Millions of people will probably have to abandon their homes. A few will be able to afford structures that are capable of floating when necessary. . .
