bharathh Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Sorry to hear that. Pretty surprised to hear how much of an impact Ida has had in NJ esp given the amt of open space there is. Was this in Jersey City/Newark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laaloo Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Devastating. My parents were about to sleep in 10 minutes in the basement. If they had already slept I shudder to think what could have happened because the water rushed in a matter of minutes and my wife and mother barely escaped because the basement door just broke and flew right at them but due to the water the impact was minimized and they were able to crawl under and get out and reach safely upstairs. After hearing the horror stories I’m thankful to be safe. One of my cousins friend call his mom while in the car that he’s coming home but there’s lots of water. After a few minutes, he calls her back saying his car is stuck in a flood and he doesn’t know how to swim. He was an only child and he died.

Sorry to hear, so many people stuck at the wrong place at the wrong time. Waters rose 20ft in a matter of mins and those unfortunate at that place were impacted severely. Almost like a tsunami. There were a lot of alerts and warnings advising people to avoid travel and stay home. I have ignored them so many times Laaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For tornadoes you hide in a bathroom in the middle of the house and we do have tornado alarms. One thing is for sure US has more destructive forces of nature compared to India. You will love cold season if you embrace snow sports. Edited September 9, 2021 by gattaca coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
