The calamitous flooding that is hitting multiple states has reached New Jersey and New York.
The National Weather Service has expanded flash flood warnings to more states in the Northeast and Midwest as relentless rains continue to cause havoc. Homes, businesses, and lives are at risk in many areas as of the evening of July 14, including the tri-state area.
After cruel leftists mocked Republican-run Texas (pictured above) for suffering from devastating floods, the natural disasters have hit Democrat-run New Jersey and New York too. And unlike leftists, we won’t gloat over unfortunate individuals with whom we disagree politically being trapped in flooding subways or floating cars. Here’s hoping there are no more casualties in any of the states being inundated.
