MAJOR RAIN, FLOODS, HIT NEW YORK AND U.S. EAST COAST...

Drill baby drill, says Trump (and Carney).

(July 15, 2025):
More than 2 inches of rain fell in New York in one hour on Monday night, the second-wettest hour ever recorded in the city.

Twenty of New York City's 472 subway stations were closed for parts of Monday evening with major flooding in some.

New York's climate officer said...

“We have an infrastructure that was designed for an environment we no longer live in.

Monday night’s storm represents ‘one of the most intense rain storms the system has dealt with’...

The pipes were designed for a certain amount of water,” he said. “A lot more water fell from the sky.”

Airport Rainfall Records:

• Newark Airport (in New Jersey): 2.13 inches

• LaGuardia Airport: 1.66 inches

Both setting new records for the date.

A flash flood emergency was declared overnight for Petersburg, Virginia, where 3 to 6 inches of rain fell across the area in just a couple of hours.

Meanwhile, in Plant City, Florida, east of Tampa, nearly 10 inches of rain fell in three hours, surpassing the criteria of a 1,000-year rain event.

Meanwhile, here in Canada...

All of our governments push ahead with more oil, more roads, more military, more pipelines and LNG and fracking, more mining and more logging –

as if the fires and flooding and melting and droughts and cancer and plastic in our brains were of no importance
and there was no connection between the corporate-run economy and the poisoning of our environment and of ourselves.
