an elderly man was pulled from his car after it was overtaken by floodwaters in passaic. firefighters were able to rescue two other people from that vehicle. the mayor urged residents to stay off the roads. >> there is no way that we could have predicted how bad this storm would get. the intense rainfall, the concentration of water which could result in trees coming down, many people have the impression that the winds are what causes trees to come down, but truly the saturation of the ground, it dislodges the roots. and we were getting reports all over the city where fire were responding. but i've said this before, cars can be repaired, property can be replaced, but the loss of life cannot and today as a city, as a community, we are dealing with the loss of life in our city and potentially more and we know that this storm has devastated our state all over, so again, i want to xhebcommend the efforts firefighters, police, emergency responders who unite together. they are beyond heros and their efforts have saved countless lives. and the aftermath of the storm continues to

the families who have been impacted, specifically those individuals that live in bergen, middlesex, passaic, somerset. [indiscernible] we are continuing to do damage assessments. we have staff on the ground in essex, union and mercer. we wanted to be able to get the disaster declaration in ways quickly knowing that we still need to do additional damage assessments and get a better understanding of the scope of the impact that the communities are impacting across new jersey. so far, we have 7000 families that have registered for assistance and that number will continue to grow. if they have not registered yet, individuals can go to dis asterassistance.gov. 1800-331-3362. we will have teams in the neighborhood, in the recovery centers. they can assist you with registering, if you have questions, find somebody with a fema shirt and they will help you. the thing that has been remarkable over the last few weeks and watching the track of hurricane ida is the weather events such as these are becoming more normal, more common, more severe, more intense. the effects of climate change that are causin

in the middle of the flooding last week, the mayor of passaic, new jersey, told me about one of those losses as the storm ravaged his city. >> unfortunately, an elderly gentleman of 70 years have age was unable to be rescued. the car was overtaken by water. firefighters were under the vehicle and it became almost impossible for firefighters to reach the vehicle as the waters rose above six and seven feet in that one area. >> so the mayor was one of the local officials to meet with president biden today in new jersey and he joins me now. thank you, mayor. how are you doing? >> thank you. i'm doing well. relatively well. how are you? >> i'm okay. i'm sorry for everything your community is dealing with. how was your meeting with the president today? what did you discuss? >> well, i want to say it was extremely encouraging. the fact the president took time to be here with us, to walk our communities, to hear firsthand the impact, the devastating effects of ida in our community, it means so very much to our residents in our state and obviously, in the city of passaic, that i was able to si

from passaic. from other parts of this region that absolutely were saturated.a day of heavy rain. but when this rain which, you know, is coming on so fast, so fierce, as the -- as the climate gets warmer and warmer and warmer, this environment becomes so saturated, you get so much rainfall so quickly that it overwhelms the infrastructure. and that's true in small towns, in pennsylvania, in new jersey, and it's equally true when you get to hoboken, when you get to new york city. when you get to new haven, connecticut. and now, as ida moves further north, we are seeing reports of cars submerged in wooster, massachusetts. and in barnstable, massachusetts. now, thankfully, in the past few minutes, the tornado warning on cape cod has expired. hopefully, the last of the tornado warnings. we saw some incredible images of tornados earlier in the day in maryland and in new jersey near philadelphia. these very kind of -- it is very rare to see a tornado of that scale on the ground in the northeast. but it was all kicked up due to the remnants of ida as this storm moved n
