of the snake river where meets the columbia river, then down as far as portland where the columbia river reaches another river. it was at this point that various cut offs were established. particularly the california trail with a cut off down here near sacramento. this is approaching it overland rather than by sea. the oregon trail is very difficult itself. if you take the california trail, it's even worse. you would have to go into northern nevada to a place called the humbled sink. which is usually a dry riverbed, it only has water there it for a few days. it is usually just bone-dry. they had to cross is incredibly hot, arid desert. and all along the way people died from various. things but make matters worse, you then had to cross this year at nevada mountains themselves. it was harder crossing those rather than the rockies. great skiing country today, but we lived in softer times and they did. already by then, when most famous incidents in american cannibalism had taken place there. the dawn are party was a group that set off from missouri, took the california cut off, were part way

and like the muddy river in boston, it was going to be a "let's clean up the river" project. pollution control, sanitary, sewers, roads, park, all combined into one. and the property was acquired by 1909. they had some political and financial problems, and they begin construction in 1916. then in 1916, wham, world war i happens. so it's delayed until 1919, is when they begin to construct it. the parkway was designed by a team of designers. and in addition to the landscape architects herman merkel and gilmore clarke, was jay downer, the engineer. the park combined both driving and the preservation of landscape and scenic features. so merkel and gilmer clarke did the planting, road alignment, and slope design, while jay downer, the engineer, worked on the technical aspects and a series of bridges across the parkway. in addition, along the driveway they inserted a series of parks in the roadway along either side. and other fun facts to know, there was a 40-foot drive lane associated in the right-of-way. so it looks sort of like what we've been talking about in terms of parkway d

that's just one river. the rareton river in new jersey is similar, that will be cresting later today. all these rivers are near all time records, if not all time records, considerable to 1999 with hurricane irene. let me get into the numbers and how mind blowing the situation was. north of philadelphia, they had 6 to 8 inches, that's what fed the river we showed you. newark, 7 inches. we ended up with 5 to 7 inches near boston, too. as far as the hourly total went, this is what made it a horrific event. it wasn't just a 12 to 24 hour period, it was quick and fast. we had three inches of rain at newark airport and central park in one hour. that's never happened before at either record station. records go back 153 years. think of the thunderstorms that went through new york city, hurricanes, tropical storms, none of them ever did this in one hour. as far as the forecast went, people can't say they were shocked and surprised. this is the map i showed yesterday, high risk of flash flooding through the new york

the bronx river parkway. the bronx river parkway was an effort to conserve the polluted bronx river in westchester county, new york. much of it initially looked like this. if we look closely here, we have people's laundry back here and that image is an out house. we think about pollution, we have sanitary waste flowing down into the pron x river down here. in 1907, the bronx river parkway commission sort of like a park commission but a parkway commission, an independent agency of the city was authorized to survey, acquire, design and construct a 16 mile linear parkway along the river. it was going to be a let's clean up the river park. they had political and financial problems and they begin construction in 1916. then in 1916, wham. world war i happens. it's delayed until 1919. they begin to construct it. the parkway was designed by a team of designers and in addition to the landscape architects, herman merkle and clark was the engineer. merkle and clark, they did the planting road align m and slope design wh

you had rivers -- streets turning into rivers. right behind me where i'm standing right now, last night at midnight it was water up to my waist, 25 feet behind me. i would have been under water. i'm 5'8". i would have been under water 25 feet behind me. the water rushed through here. the people behind me are trying to get back to their cars, waiting for tow trucks. these cars were either abandoned or in some cases they've come from the neighbors' driveways. the neighbors could only get one car out at a time and the water was just too dangerous to get both cars out of the driveways. they're trying to assess the damage this morning. there are parts of this area that still don't have power. more than a million people don't have power in the path of ida from louisiana to here. that's part of the recovery. i've seen power trucks having to be rescued because they were flooded out where they were parked last night. and we've seen tow trucks that had to be rescued because the water was too deep for them last night when they came to try to

one is on the illinois river basin. that is from chicago down to the mississippi river. >> i don't want to cut you off. i want to bring this up. this is something very important for me. i grew up dirt poor in rural northwest alabama. california clean energy programs are mainly benefiting the rich. i have grave concerns, serious concerns about energy poverty. energy poverty in atlanta. atlanta has the third highest rate of energy poverty in the country, u.s. major cities. the same thing is true in los angeles. i am sure you are familiar with that article. i hope that you're taking that into account, though income families need access to libel energy. >> no question. we share that, you and i. we have different rates, huge subsidies and things to federal action, we have utility systems from this pandemic. we took some of our coronavirus relief funds and we put them directly into low income utility systems. finally, we put seller on the homes of low income residents because it is -- it can't be something that you can just a

getting back to the river level, the river is lower than it was at this time yesterday, and that's aood thing for these migrants because it's a lot less dangerous. frankly, it's a good thing for the border patrol that they don't have to perform the high water rescues that we saw, or at least throwing the line into the river that had risen to save that guy we saw yesterday. this could change quickly. we saw water levels rise quickly after water was released from a dam upstream. not happening today, but like i said to you, in just about every way the situation can change so quickly here along the u.s.-mexico border. >> i don't know if my mic was on when i mentioned it to alisyn, when we spoke with josh who was on the other side of the river, there were state and federal officials who have a line of vehicles much like the line of people on your side of the border. i'm not seeing anybody, or i'm not seeing the full shot now of anybody walking up that hill and getting past those officials. can you tell me if they're getting past those cars? >> let me zoom in on the other side of the river

major river systems like the mississippi river require a sense of unity and shared commitment to solutions. unity requires an appreciation of neighbors and interests and common-ology of the problems in opportunities. it also requires us having a shared vision for the future and a plan to achieve that future. importantwhile local planning s incredibly important to the unique characteristics of each individual community, the interconnectedness of stakeholders across the watershed calls for regional planning. achieving resilience will reside in our ability to work together. the discourse will be contentious at times, the issues are personal, and involve peoples homes and livelihoods. but as indicative of the past, corrective planning that considers regional and community implications will lead to solutions that are carried forward for decades and have lasting benefits. today i would like to discuss a robust solutions, for adapting and mitigating to climate change, the upper mississippi river restoration program restores the natural mosaic of channels, increasing the quality and diversity of h

one of those is the river itself in public control of rivers gets into interstate commerce flood control irrigation and that came into play because the o government didn't want to give henry ford control of the river but if he had control offo the dance he would h have control over how it was developed for public good or private good. this still resonates today. who is best in charge? is business more efficient and effective or as government more concerned about getting real value out of public resources? what should be in charge of large projects those are bandied about 100 years ago. the government take over the project. for dropped out. the government took over and then to design the government project that went into effect when fdr became president this is in the depth of the depression. it hit the south worse than most other parts of the country it was already an area that wasa economically troubled and the depressional was crushingpr to people in the south of the united states. ford promised that the government take over and they finished then in a different way they were not just

one of the resources was the question of the rivers up on the public control of rivers connected to interstate commerce and flood control and all the things came into play because if henry ford had control of the dams on w the river he would hae power -- with the development before public or for private and these questions to resume today and they are still argued about today. is it more efficient or is government were concerned about the real value of public resources and who should be in charge of a large project like this? it came out in favor of the government. the gummer -- the governor took over the prospect and four dropped out and the government took over. ford designed the tva this huge government project that went into effect when franklin delano roosevelt became president. the depression hit the south worse than most other parts of the country. it was already an area that was economically troubled in the depression was crushing people in the united states. ford promised economic revival. what happened was the government came in and finish the dam but they finish them in a different

there's always some food put aside for the river kids. some of the kids who climbed on board are very young. indeed. something that worries captain santos date for you. i feel that this was more does more uniform people when they're dealing with a lot less than that with me. i don't know if they died given evidence. show me wonder you're allowed to be in law guy. he might annoy you, my god, my, the new age. if you my i'm the brazilian law, the river captain is responsible in case of accident the can you see the right if you only company, my boys are the i was ever so much you. why do you call me at the finish porch? he can either read nor write, but jesse knows how to count his prophets, say about 3 and a half dollars, a small contribution to his family's income. jesse is the youngest of 12 children. his mother been addicted. who's almost 60 weeks in each morning. jesse's lived in his house. i'm fills all his life. it's a life that revolves entirely around the river. i saw some of those on there. if you think about 135, you money. no one.

the most important is the question of public control of rivers.merce and flood control and irrigation only thing we need rivers for came into play because the government didn't want to give ford control of the whole river but if he had control of the dnc would have control over how it was developed and for the public good or private good. the question still resonates today. who is best in charge? is it more effective or is government more concerned getting the value out of public resources to be in charge of large projects like this. it came out in favor of the government. the government take over the project forward eventually after his deal with coolidge, for dropped out. and the government took over. george morris designed the government project in the deaths the depression it was already an area that was economically troubled and the depression was crushing to people in the south of the united states. which is why they were attracted to ford's idea. he promised economic revival. when the government took over they came in and finish the dams an

rivers. it is just an awful mess. >>en a an awful, awful mess but glad that you are here even if remotely. and we begin with the breaking news this morning, catastrophic and deadly flooding in the northeast spawned by what remains of hurricane ida, at least seven people have died in new york. five trapped by raging floods, one died in a building collapse. at least one person also dead in new jersey. the storms barreling into new york city overnight, flooding streets and homes from literally every direction. look at that, a state of emergency declared in new york and new jersey after the storm unleashed floodwaters. 3 to 5 inches of rain an hour. new york city was under a flash flood emergency for the first time ever, even the most hardcore new yorkers haven't seen anything like this since hurricane issandy. subways shut down with rivers of water cascading through platforms and cars there. and above ground mta buses were paralyzed by floodwaters. between 8:51 and 9:51 last night, 3 inches in c

this is the rarition river. this is a park along the rarition river or it should be a park. it's complety will inundated. that's the river beyond. it's still 10 to 15 feet above flood level right now. the tide doesn't come in high for another hour and a half or so. there may be even more flooding this, as emergency crews are still getting out there and still trying to find people who are stuck. >> a river of water pours into a new york city subway station, one of many similar scenes there as remnants of ida leads to historic flooding. >> unprecedented is almost an understatement. this is, yeah, the first time ever we've had a flash flood emergency declared. >> reporter: today the death toll continues to rise among the victims, a 2-year-old. >> this has been a biblical storm by every means. >> reporter: in queens the new york city police commissioner says eight people died in their basements of homes inundated with water. >> the road, everywhere i saw coming out of the airport and beyond flooded. dozens and dozens and dozens of cars marooned, stranded. >> reporter: across the

cnn's matt rivers is on the mexico side of the rio grande river. he joins us now.ere tonight? >> reporter: yeah, john, that steel wall that you mentioned just across the river behind me. we see state troopers from texas, also border patrol, basically deterring anyone from going further into the united states. what they are allowing people to do, though, and we have seen it all day long, is essentially go back and forth from the united states to mexico unimpeded. we have seen haitian migrants go back and forth all day long, mainly to do one thing. and that is, people who are staying in that encampment that we have seen so many images of over the past week or so in del rio. coming over here to mexico to actually get supplies, food, water, i even saw someone get diapers earlier today. there is just a lot more of it. and there's less people here in mexico. so they are coming over, picking some things up. putting it in plastic bags, going back across. and for now, u.s. law enforcement are allowing that to continue. essentially, the situation you have on the border right

and the river level is about 27.6 feed. these pictures here from the tornado went through the area here. the flooding and summer county, new jersey. take a look closely at that picture on the right yesterday afternoon that river was at 4 feet, now it is at 27 feet high. that's how quickly it rose with the intense rainfall rates in this area. so this is all happening very quickly. the river went up three to four feet per hour. that is amazing. with the tornadoes we'll likely find out that that tornado be probably go down as the strongest ever witnessed in the state of new jersey. one of the folks blew up because of a gas leak, and people were clinging to trees. picture that scenario. you're holding on to a treat, and a home is exploding near you. so not just new york city, so many vehicles, temperatures of thousands flooded out in this event. you have been covering it, too, how expensive used car prices are right now. this is not going to help in this area. just heartbreaking and again, those were the levels you're looking a

this is the schukyl river. it's at 16 feet and could go to 19 feet as the waters are only now beginning to resurge. the flood warning here in philadelphia ends at 7: 7 a.m. tomorrow, and the national weather service says it will not get below flood stage in philadelphia until after midnight tonight. i want to show you the impact of this river. there have been water rescues taking place all day. the governor's administration says there were 500 calls for water rescues in the montgomery county suburbs to the north of here. you can see famous boat rouse row in the distance. it has been under water for hours. i want to show you one more thing. this is interstate 76 here. that's the pennsylvania turnpike going into center city, philadelphia. it is a parking lot right now because of an issue further on down the river. according to the pennsylvania department of transportation, the cross roads between 76 and 6 p v -- 7 67 is under water because the pumping station is also under water. they can't even begin to get out

here's the thing, people in many of these towns that live close to these rivers, these river basins, they are still concerned that the water levels in those rivers could continue to rise. that's exactly what local fire marshal told me a little while ago. >> they're talk about there may be a rise again in the water. gerngs i again, i don't think it's going to be this bad. i can see it kind of went down a little bit. i don't think it's going to crest. let's just cross our fingers it doesn't. again, it's hard to predict these things. >> the manville fire marshal telling me they do believe the worst could possibly be over. this place knows all too well what happens with these massive storms. in fact, with hurricane floyd in the '90s they also experienced this kind of flooding. they did also during superstorm sandy, but the consensus after speaking to local officials, it has never been this bad and now these are the heartbreaking scenes that usually follow these kinds of natural disasters. there's obviously those homes that are beyond repair, and everywhere else you look, too, alisyn and

good news is most of the rivers have crested. they are slowly going to recede, but i want to emphasize it's going to happen very slowly. >> yeah. it's going to take a lot of effort, a lot of time and money to repair what's going on. all right. jennifer, thank you very much. we'll stay obviously in close touch with you as well. coming up, we'll have an update on the search for people missing in these devastating floods. i'll speak with a new jersey mayor who says bodies have been recovered from the waters. you think you're empty? i'm empty. do you suffer from cartridge conniptions? be conniption-free, thanks to the cartridge-free epson ecotank printer. a ridiculous amount of ink! you're mocking me. not again! the epson ecotank. just fill & chill. ♪ ♪ the light. it comes from within. it drives you. and it guides you. to shine your brightest. as you charge ahead. illuminating the way forward. a light maker. recognizing that the impact you make, comes from the energy you create. introducing the all-electric lyriq. lighting the way. ♪
