New York und New Jersey Hochwasser mit mindestens 43 Toten (2)

By Jordi Bou

September 2, 2021 - Ausnahmezustand wurde über New York City verhängt, nachdem die Reste des Hurrikans Ida, der vorher große Teile von Louisiana verwüstet hatte, über die Stadt gezogen sind. Menschen waren in ihren Autos gefangen oder sind in Kellerwohnungen ertrunken.

The governors of New York and New Jersey declared a state of emergency, after the storm barrelled into the north-eastern U.S. with flash flooding and tornadoes. At least nine people have died.

The extreme weather has been caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, which caused widespread devastation in southern Louisiana earlier this week.

The latest wave of devastation caused by Hurricane Ida comes as the UN warned that weather disasters are striking the world four to five times more often and causing seven times more damage than in the 1970s.
