Storm Ida: Joe Biden warns 'climate crisis is here' after 29 killed in flooding

It wreaked havoc along the Gulf Coast as it was downgraded to a tropical storm and later caused deadly flooding and tornadoes in the northeastern US.Addressing the nation in a news conference on Thursday, Mr Biden said:"The past few days of Hurricane Ida and the wildfires in the west and the unprecedented flash floods in New York and New Jersey is yet another reminder that these extreme storms and the climate crisis are here.

Another victim was also confirmed by mayor Bill de Blasio, but he did not provide any further details. The National Weather Service said Wednesday was the first time it had issued a"flash flood emergency" for New York City. He urged people to stay off the streets, saying:"If you're thinking of going outside, don't. Stay off the subways. Stay off the roads. Don't drive into these heavy waters. Stay inside."Floodwater cascades into New York subway
