"I don't blame climate change. I blame the mayor," one resident said after de Blasio, Ocasio-Cortez, and other officials toured her block, according to the New York Post. "There was absolutely no warning," the resident continued. "I wasn't expecting water from my own drain to be the one that's going to kill me." During their tour of residents' homes, a public school teacher reportedly yelled at the Democrats. "How come you're not in this community? You don't give a s***!" the woman said to Ocasio-Cortez, according to the New York Post.
A public school teacher in nearby Elmhurst, Queens shouted at Rep. Ocasio-Cortez as she joined de Blasio, Schumer and Criswell to tour residents’ homes where the floodwaters reached 12 feet in some sections. “How come you’re not in this community? You don’t give a s–t!” the woman shouted at AOC.
New York had 18 confirmed deaths: Five in Westchester County and the rest in New York City where nearly all victims became trapped in basement apartments in Queens or Brooklyn.
NYC has had a history of hurricanes, remember sandy? Irene? Politicians focused on painting BLM murals infront of Trump tower, not protecting the city.

I think the obvious answer is that the storm wasn't predictable and considering they can't predict the weather with any accuracy, they sure as hell can't predict long term climate trends. That, coupled with fact that democrats use every crisis to advance their agenda rubs people the wrong way. They show up in their limousines with their personal security details and production crews for the photo op long before the flood waters have receded and the dead have been buried and pretend to have all the answers. "If you have all the answers, why didn't you warn us?" is the logical question.

It wasn't a hurricane at that point, it wasn't even a tropical storm, it was just the remnants. Anywhere can flood with enough rain.
