USA Underwater: The Worst Flash Flood! Cities Without Electricity! Cars Sinking in Water
A winter storm on the East Coast of the United States is leaving behind power outages and widespread flooding. The East Coast remained under the threat of adverse weather on Wednesday as a powerful winter storm loomed over the region.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), on January 10, more than 50 million people from eastern Ohio to the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast were at risk of strong winds and flooding. The storm caused delays or cancellations of over 1,200 flights on Wednesday, including more than 270 flights to and from Chicago.
In several Pennsylvania communities, over 3.9 inches of rain fell. Trees were toppled, leaving thousands of homes without power. Several rivers in eastern Pennsylvania experienced flooding, during which rescuers evacuated some drivers from stranded vehicles.
Flooding inundated several coastal towns in New England, including Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. Streets, homes, and vehicles were submerged, leading to a state of emergency declaration. Local residents were recommended to leave the area and move to higher ground.
A dam breach in Connecticut led to evacuation orders along the Yantic River in Norwich. Later, another dam in Connecticut – the Pameacha Pond Dam in Middletown – partially breached due to flooding on January 9.
In Maine, on Isle au Haut island, wind gusts reached 95 miles per hour. As a result, an empty passenger plane collided with a jet bridge at the state's largest airport. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Maine Governor Janet Mills urged residents to stay away from roads amid flash flood warnings.
In New Jersey, a state of emergency was declared ahead of the storm. In some areas, 2.99 inches of precipitation fell, leading to flooding of streets, roads, and rising water levels in rivers.
In Burlington, the water level reached 11.99 feet, surpassing the previous record. On January 10, 2024, floodwaters submerged homes, businesses, streets, vehicles, and parks along the Saddle River in Lodi, New Jersey.
Strong winds caused storm surge that hit several coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, triggering historic flooding. On the Delaware River near Philadelphia, the highest storm surge since 1900 was recorded.
High tides flooded cities along the southern coast of Long Island early Wednesday after overnight rain and storm.
In Nassau County, New York, cars were floating in floodwaters. Several schools on Long Island canceled or postponed classes due to the storm.
Recently, meteorologists' forecasts are becoming increasingly inaccurate because old forecasting models no longer work in new climate realities. Now, what has never happened in the history of our humanity is happening – our planet is entering a cycle of climate catastrophes. In the next five years, an increase in the strength and number of catastrophes is expected, putting millions of human lives at risk and causing the relocation of billions of people.
