2 dead in #NewJersey after #floodwaters carry away vehicle during #HeavyRains that hit #NortheasternUS
By SUSAN HAIGH, JENNIFER PELTZ and JENNIFER PELITZ
Updated 2:56 PM EDT, July 15, 2025NEW YORK (AP) — "Two people in New Jersey were killed after their vehicle was swept up in floodwaters during a storm that moved across the U.S. Northeast overnight, authorities said Tuesday.
"Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, noted the deaths occurred in the northern New Jersey city of Plainfield, where there were two storm-related deaths July 3. A third person was killed in North Plainfield during that previous storm.
" 'We’re not unique, but we’re in one of these sort of high humidity, high temperature, high storm intensity patterns right now,' Murphy told reporters after touring storm damage in Berkeley Heights. 'Everybody needs to stay alert.'
"The names of the two latest victims were not immediately released Tuesday. Local officials said the vehicle they were riding in was swept into a brook during the height of the storm.
" 'Emergency personnel responded quickly, but tragically, both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene,' according to a statement the city posted online.
"The heavy rains also caused #FlashFloods in #NewYork and south-central #Pennsylvania on Monday night into early Tuesday, prompting road closures and snarling some service on the #NewYorkCitySubway.
"It was the second-highest one-hour rainfall ever recorded in #CentralPark at more than 2 inches (5 centimeters), surpassed only by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021, according to local officials.
Flooding in the New York City subway
"Viral videos posted online showed water flooding down into one Manhattan subway station, submerging the platform while passengers inside a train watched on.
"Janno Lieber, chair and CEO of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, told ABC 7 in New York the city’s sewer system got overwhelmed by the rain and backed up into the subway tunnels and to the stations. In several cases, he said, the backup 'popped a manhole,' creating the dramatic 'geyser' seen in some videos.
" 'What happened last night is something that is, you know, a reality in our system,' he told the TV station, noting the backup happens when more than 1 3/4 inches of rain falls in an hour. 'We’ve been working with the city of New York to try to get them to increase the capacity of the system at these key locations.'
"City officials said their venerable sewer system worked as well as it could, but it simply was not built to handle that much rain.
" 'Imagine putting a two-liter bottle of water into a one-liter bottle. Some of it’s going to spill,' Environmental Protection Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala said at a virtual news briefing Tuesday.
"Lieber said full service was restored to the subway, as well as commuter rails, after hundreds of people worked overnight to restore operations.
"#Flooding has proven to be a stubborn problem for New York’s subway system, despite years and billions of dollars’ worth of efforts to waterproof them.
"#SuperstormSandy in 2012 prompted years of subway repairs and flood-fighting ideas, and some have been put into practice. In some places, transit officials have installed or are installing storm barriers at subway station entrances, seals beneath subway air vents and curbs to raise the vents and entrances above sidewalk level.
"Meanwhile, summer thunderstorms and the remains of hurricanes have repeatedly flooded parts of the subway system anew. In 2021, the remnants of #HurricaneIda killed more than a dozen New York City residents, largely in basement apartments, and sent water cascading again into subways, renewing attention to #resiliency proposals.
The storm’s effects in New Jersey and #Pennsylvania
"The storm prompted multiple water rescues in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where streets and basements flooded after roughly 7 inches (18 centimeters) of rain fell. Some roads remained closed in parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on Tuesday. Murphy said the pavement buckled in some locations and state and local officials were assessing the level of damage in several counties, noting the White House had reached out to his office.
"A major east-to-west highway in New Jersey was closed to make emergency repairs while dozens of flights were delayed or canceled at area airports Tuesday.
"Most flash flood watches and warnings had expired in parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as the rain moved on.
"In one flooded North Plainfield neighborhood, a house caught on fire and collapsed amid the storm. Murphy said there was an explosion at the house but the family was not home and there were no injuries. The cause was under investigation."

#Rainfall is increasingly unpredictable due to #ClimateChange
By Rodielon Putol
Earth.com staff writer
July 28, 2024"In recent years, rainfall patterns worldwide have transformed dramatically, with many regions experiencing unprecedented changes in precipitation due to climate change.
"Folk tales about the wet seasons seem to have turned into reality. #TorrentialDownpours are becoming more common. These #HeavyRains disrupt daily life. They also challenge infrastructure meant for milder weather.
"At the same time, dry areas are facing longer #droughts, raising concerns about climate change and its impact on #UnpredictableWeather.
"These prolonged dry spells have severe implications for #agriculture, #water supply, and #ecosystem health, making the need for comprehensive climate action more urgent than ever.
Climate change and rainfall variability
"A groundbreaking study now solidifies the connection between human-induced climate change and erratic rainfall patterns, offering compelling evidence of the far-reaching impact of #HumanActivities on the #GlobalClimate system.
"The research vividly demonstrates that human actions have sparked a significant global shift towards more volatile rainfall patterns, disrupting traditional weather cycles and increasing the frequency of #ExtremeWeather events.
"This significant finding validates what climate models have long predicted, highlighting the urgent need for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies to address the growing #ClimateCrisis."

Warning has spread to #ScarboroughMaine as well...
#Fecal #contamination fears shut down #shellfish harvesting in Southern #Maine after rainfall
Maine Public | By Nick Song
Published August 5, 2024"Bryant Lewis, a scientist for Maine DMR, said heavy #StormRunoff picks up feces from wildlife on land and washes them into parts of the ocean where shellfish feed.
"'The shellfish are going to accumulate that fecal contamination as their filter feeding, so people could potentially get sick off of eating,' Lewis said. 'So this is very different than waters dirty for swimming or for any other use. This is really specific to eating shellfish.'
"The closure lasts until the department lifts the order, which Lewis said should be in three or four days. The department automatically issues closures after a harvesting area experiences two or more inches of rainfall in a 24-hour period. Lewis said the department issued more than a dozen such flood closures last summer.
"#FreeportMaine experienced 2.77 inches of rain from Saturday to Sunday according to the National Weather Service in Gray.
"'After you get that level of rainfall, that water will cause a lot of runoff,' Lewis said. "So those closures only last for a few days as a precaution because of that increased fecal contamination [risk]."

Here in #Maine, we saw beaches closed down because of contamination from overflowing sewage which ended up in the ocean from extreme rain events. Expect more of this as #extremeweather increases. Also, keep in mind that humans aren't the only ones being affected by these events -- plants, animals, microflora, bacteria levels, algae, etc.
Explainer: How #ClimateChange is making the world sick

December 4, 2023"'#ExtremeWeather events are becoming extreme health events,' said Martin Edlund, CEO of global health nonprofit Malaria No More.
"Here's how Climate Change is harming people's health across the world today, and what countries might expect in the future.
VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES
"#Mosquitoes that carry viruses including #dengue, #malaria, #WestNile and #Zika are shifting into new parts of the world as warmer temperatures and #HeavyRains create more hospitable conditions for them to breed.MURKY WATERS

Texas River #Floods After Massive Water Level Increase Overnight
by Anna Skinner, October 26, 2023
"A river's water levels in drought-stricken #CentralTexas increased dramatically overnight on Wednesday after #HeavyRains doused the region.
"Texas has suffered from severe drought throughout the summer with the water levels in many lakes, reservoirs, and rivers dropping as a result. As of Thursday, the entirety of #LlanoCounty in central Texas was suffering from #SevereDrought, with nearly 45 percent of the county battling exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor Map. 'Exceptional' is the worst classification of drought by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
"#LlanoRiver levels have remained low throughout the summer but jumped by 10 feet overnight after heavy rains pummeled the region. Parts of Llano County received at least 7.5 inches of rain through 7 a.m. local time on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) office in San Antonio and Austin. The rainfall supplemented the Llano River, which entered a moderate flood stage."
