they're in central park. that beats a record from a couple weeks ago. the one-hour record was set with a previous tropical system that came to shore in connecticut a couple weeks ago. we brought that to 3 inches, again kind of show you 2021 coming in with number one and number two heaviest rain events with a short duration there in new york city. so the atmosphere is absolutely saturated. i often talk about this when a comes to let's say looking at the climate change anglech and we know for every 1 degrees celsius our planet warms and our atmosphere holds about 7% more water vapors. when you warm the atmosphere you're able to retain more moisture and what goes up must come down and that's what's happening here across new york city. >> pedram, correct me if i'm wrong. we expected to have some bad weather here in the northeast. i'm not sure they expected this amount of rain and also to, you know, have tornado warnings in the northeast and actually, you know, there was a tornado. we saw the video of it in new jersey. >> yeah. we had a couple -- the storm p

you mentioned central park. the national weather service saying wednesday alone, central park was 7.3 inches of rain breaking the record. newark receiving 8.4 inches of rainfall breaking the 2.2 inch record. these are records being broken going back to 1927 and 1959 respectively. so you're saying there was no indication that it would be this cataclysmic, this kind of record-breaking level of flooding that authorities saw on the horizon? >> i will say this. we have to push back on that. i spoke to janice dean. she said look, the forecast for this was incredible. the forecasters for multiple days had put out the forecast that we expected flooding and excessive rainfall. there's push back from forecasters and meteorologists against the governor and bill de blasio that said they were caught off guard. you speak to janice and other meteorologists, this forecast was good. this is the remnants of ida and they knew it would make it up here. the city is not equipped to handle more than two inches of rain per hour. they g

it is exceedingly rare and the same scenario played out around central park where over 3 inches fell in one hour. this is a 200 year event. and about ten days ago, we watched henri make landfall and bring in historic rainfall to new york city. they have kept records here since the 1800s and they have never seen a period of rainfall like this in the last 24 hours essentially. but the system quickly moving out of here into the morning hours. i think 6:00, 7:00 we're on the back side of this and conditions begin to dry out. but an incredible storm the way it started and made landfall and spent six hours almost at category 4 in louisiana to the final breath of it here in the northeast setting records that we've never seen as well. >> yeah, incredible as you say. all right, stick around, we'll have you come back later in the newscast on this story. >>> right now we want to go to mark morales in brooklyn, new york. mark, brooklyn is another area obviously hard hit by the flooding. what are you seeing there now? >> good morning. the story out here really is the level of damage that has been

we broke records in central park and at the airports., we broke records that were set two weeks ago. so we are in the era where historic rain falls are becoming the norm. so we have infrastructure challenges, and that's why i declared it a federal disaster declaration. i sent it off to president biden just this afternoon for 14 counties. had a great conversation with the president who offered any help we need. as you mention, infrastructure is really important. i'm proud we were able to get the subways. people are stunned by the images of niagara falls going down our subway stations. our roads became rivers. but we have also been able to restore service, which i have been out to many of our subway stations and some of the long island railroad stops to see the workers out there with shovels in hands making them safe again. but long term, it is all about building resiliency through our infras infrastructure. and what we did before, wolf, after super storm sandy, we built up our coastline. but what we're seeing is not flooding coming in fro

central park at new york city set a record last night for the most rain central park has ever recorded in a single hour. the previous record was set last month. but over 3 inches an hour in central park? they call them flash floods for a reason. people who were going about their lives in the northeast were really not expecting this last night. as i say, the death toll continues to climb. in the south ida hit on sunday as a category 4 hurricane. the impact was bad enough from the initial sledge hammer blow of that storm including its very high winds, but the danger to human life and the misery in the wake of ida has gotten worse with each passing day since the storm left. some electric power is slowly being restored in the state of louisiana, but we are still at nearly a million homes and businesses without power. that is a huge number of americans coping in very difficult conditions. some parts of louisiana are still looking at potentially a month before the lights come back on. we have talked to two parish officials in two southeast louisiana counties in the past couple nights on this
