Coastlines in the #nyc metro region are flooding today and over the weekend due to #noreasternolo

Our infrastructure -- even BRAND NEW NYC -- is not prepared for #climatechange #sealevelrise. We aren't even well prepared for flooding from this #noreaster […]

NYC Parks and Columbia University Rowing Dock— completed about a year ago in the Harlem River next to the Columbia Tennis center.

It is pretty much maxed out. Where there should be a ramp down to the water, it is flat.

Tidal Marsh off the Harlem River. NYC Parks department Inwood Hill Park Nature center is adjacent. This dock was rebuilt a few years ago after being destroyed in 2012 by Hurricane Sandy. The floating part is bent up at an odd angle because it is too high.

The dryland of Inwood Hill park is becoming marshland of the Harlem River. Tide water covers up a wide parks path and there are several parks benches standing in the water. The Henry Hudson Bridge is in the background.

The Battery (southern tip of Manhattan) NYC tidal chart with astronomical prediction (dark blue), forecast (cyan), and observed (red) water levels from Sep 24-26, 2026. Minor to Moderate flooding should occur on 9/26 high tides.

🌀Scientists @profcorbosiero.bsky.social, @davidho.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social et al. explain the impact of El Niño on hurricane season. Here's the story (as relevant as when it came out with monster Hurricane Polo barrelling through the Pacific Ocean and coatline...)
