Have read this article and feel that it provides some insight into what happened with the #Ida flooding in NYC. I will sound like a one note horn, but I still feel this is primary a failure of political leadership. 1/x The weather community is doing its part in looking at communication of the event, what was in the forecast and the warnings and when was it issued, but communication is a two-way street, and senior political leadership in NY/NYC did a stunning job of not listening. 2/x

With the focus on tornado impacts (and rightfully so), the major flooding threat continues unabated. Along with widespread flash flooding, local creeks and streams are well over flood stage.

East Branch Brandywine Creek below Downingtown PA now approaching Major flooding. Perkiomen Creek at Graterford, PA now experiencing Moderate flooding. Major flooding expected with forecast 5th highest stage of record.

Main impact from #Ida as it moves through will be heavy rainfall, flash flooding and river flooding. Forecast rainfall amounts from local NWS offices. Image The forecast rainfall from #Ida pushes a number of local creeks and rivers into the moderate flooding category. Here is the Schuylkill River at Norristown. Image

A few more thoughts on yesterday's storm and the response to it. This will take a number of tweets and I will try to do them quickly, but I may get interrupted. If that happens, please be a little patient with me. 1/x I'll recognize up front that the snowfall forecast was adequate in some locations, but pretty bad in other locations. Nonetheless, at least here in New Jersey, you're being scammed by senior political leadership (yeah, I know, what a shocker) 2/x
