It was a scorcher today.
But tomorrow 7/31/25 is major rainfall #extremerain in #nyc in the afternoon through overnight.
The notify NYC says rain rates of up to 2”/hour. This is above the average drainage capacity of our nyc sewer system. (That means flooding.)
Be ready.

An increasingly common intersection for scientists researching #ExtremeRain is when it intersects with the personal:
#ClimateChange plus aging infrastructure ate my #bike lane #bikeNYC

The Hudson River Greenway — the nation's busiest bike lane — keeps caving in uptown, so the city and state should move it over onto the more stable Henry Hudson Parkway by repurposing one of its three car lanes for cyclists, residents and experts say nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/12/13/p...

The answer to the sinkhole greenway is right there: taking a lane from the Henry Hudson Parkway.
