In our former climate, the rain amounts in the past 12 hours is an event you’d expect to see only once every 200 years. But now with our warmed climate, who knows… but expect it much more often. https://t.co/bmgjwgIXhQ

Because the Northeast is where a lot of tropical storms go to die, big precipitation events are going to keep getting much, much worse.

Astounding. In my 40-year career, the only Northeast U.S. weather event this extreme that compares is Hurricane Sandy. https://t.co/R08LGcHI33
