Photos: Deadly flash floods overwhelm Northeast

 

Flash floods overwhelmed parts of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey on Wednesday night, as the remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped historic rainfall across the region.

 

At least 18 deaths were reported as of Thursday morning in the three states. At least eight people died in flooded New York City basements, city officials said, with another death in a vehicle accident. The city of Elizabeth, N.J., reported five people dead in an apartment complex. And officials in Pennsylvania reported “multiple fatalities" without immediately providing additional information.

 

In New York City, transportation ground to a halt. Cars on city streets faced floodwaters up to their windshields. Subway cars were trapped in tunnels and taking on water as passengers were forced to evacuate.

 

Hundreds of thousands of people lost power across the Northeast region, especially in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Northern New Jersey faced severe flooding as tornadoes hit South Jersey. A tornado reportedly destroyed at least nine homes in Mullica Hill, N.J., south of Philadelphia. Southeastern Pennsylvania was similarly inundated, with Philadelphia's Center City neighborhood facing severe flood conditions as the Schuylkill River overflowed.

 

Parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts also faced significant flooding.

 

Extreme weather events are becoming more common due to human-caused climate change. Warmer air can hold more moisture, leading to wetter storms and increasingly intense flash floods. Hurricane Ida already caused multiple deaths when it slammed into Louisiana and Mississippi, and the storm's remnants also drenched the Middle Tennessee region that saw over 20 deaths last month in earlier flash floods.

 

The threat of additional hurricanes looms for the U.S. East Coast this year. Larry became a Category 1 hurricane on Thursday morning as it drives west across the eastern Atlantic Ocean, and it is forecasted to strengthen even more on Friday. It’s still too early to determine where, or if, it will hit the U.S. mainland.

Gen. Lee statue can be removed, Virginia Supreme Court rules

 

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled Thursday that the state can take down an enormous statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that became widely seen as a symbol of racial injustice as it towered over Monument Avenue in the state’s capital for more than a century.

 

The high court’s ruling came in two lawsuits filed by Virginia residents who attempted to block removal of the 21-foot (6-meter) bronze equestrian sculpture, which shows Lee in military attire atop a 40-foot (12-meter) pedestal.

 

The court found that “restrictive covenants” in the 1887 and 1890 deeds that transferred the statue to the state no longer apply.

 

“Those restrictive covenants are unenforceable as contrary to public policy and for being unreasonable because their effect is to compel government speech, by forcing the Commonwealth to express, in perpetuity, a message with which it now disagrees,” the justices wrote.

 

Northam announced his decision to remove the statue in June 2020, 10 days after George Floyd’s death under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer sparked protests over police brutality and racism in cities across the country, including Richmond. The nationally recognized statue became the epicenter of a protest movement in Virginia after Floyd’s death and its base is now covered with graffiti.

 

Separate lawsuits were filed by a group of residents who own property near the statue and a descendant of signatories to the 1890 deed that transferred the statue, pedestal and land they sit on to the state.

 

Descendant William Gregory argued that the state agreed to “faithfully guard” and “affectionately protect” the statue. And five property owners argued that the governor is bound by a 1889 joint resolution of the Virginia General Assembly that accepted the statue and agreed to maintain it as a monument to Lee.

 

During a hearing before the Supreme Court on June 8, attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that the Virginia Constitution does not grant the governor the authority to remove the statue. But Attorney General Mark Herring’s office said a small group of private citizens cannot force the state to maintain a monument that no longer reflects its values.

 

“Today is an historic day in Virginia. Today, we turn the page to a new chapter in our Commonwealth’s history – one of growth, openness, healing, and hope,” Herring said in a statement Thursday.

 

Patrick McSweeney and Joseph Blackburn Jr., attorneys for the plaintiffs, could not immediately be reached for comment on whether they plan to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

A spokeswoman for Gov. Ralph Northam said his office would have comment soon.

 

It wasn't immediately clear how soon work could proceed on the removal, a job that will require special heavy equipment. The state has been working on detailed plans that include the extrication of a time capsule thought to be tucked inside the base.

 

Earlier this summer, Northam's office said it intended to leave in place the statue’s enormous pedestal, as efforts are underway to rethink the design of Monument Avenue. Some racial justice advocates see the pedestal as a symbol of the protest movement that erupted after Floyd’s killing and don’t want it moved.

 

The Lee statue was the first of five Confederate monuments to be erected on Richmond’s Monument Avenue, at a time when the Civil War and Reconstruction were long over, but Jim Crow racial segregation laws were on the rise.

 

When the statue arrived in 1890 from France, where it was created, thousands of Virginians used wagons to help pull it in pieces for more than a mile to the place where it now stands. White residents celebrated the statue of the Civil War hero and native Virginian, but many Black residents have long seen it as a monument that glorifies slavery.

 

The city of Richmond, which was the capital of the Confederacy for most of the Civil War, has removed more than a dozen other pieces of Confederate statuary on city land since Floyd’s death, which prompted the removal of Confederate monuments in cities across the country.

We are at War with Big Pharma.

 

Deal with OxyContin maker leaves families angry, conflicted

 

Among the families who lost children and other loved ones in the nation's opioid crisis, many had held out hope of someday facing OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and its owners in a courtroom.

 

That prospect all but vanished Wednesday after a bankruptcy judge conditionally approved a settlement worth an estimated $10 billion. It was a deal that left many of those families feeling they didn't get what they really wanted.

 

There was no apology from members of the Sackler family who own Purdue Pharma, they weren’t forced to give up all of their vast fortune, and there was no chance to confront them face-to-face about the lives lost to opioids.

 

Instead, the individual victims, thousands of state and local governments and other entities that sued Purdue Pharma agreed to a deal in which the Sacklers will pay $4.5 billion and give up ownership of the company, which will be reorganized.

 

The company's profits and the Sacklers' contribution will go toward fighting opioid addiction through treatment and education programs. Also, victims of drug addiction can receive payments ranging from $3,500 to $48,000.

 

The conclusion to the case left families conflicted, deflated and still angry.

 

“Am I happy they don’t have to admit guilt and give up all their money? Of course not,” said Lynn Wencus, of Wrentham, Massachusetts. “But what would that do? It doesn’t bring my son back and it doesn’t help those who are suffering.”

 

In the first years after her son Jeff died of an overdose in 2017, all she wanted was vengeance. While her anger remains, she is hopeful the settlement will finally bring help to communities ravaged by overdoses.

 

“I know people disagree with that and want the Sacklers to suffer,” she said. “But the reality is we need money to get into the states, into education, into treatment.”

 

A half-million Americans have died from opioids over the past two decades, a toll that includes victims of prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin and illicit drugs such as heroin and street-grade fentanyl.

 

In one of the hardest-fought provisions in the settlement, the family will be protected from any future opioid lawsuits. While the Sacklers weren’t given immunity from criminal charges, there have been no indications they will face any.

 

Despite the settlement, the family could see its wealth rise from an estimated $10.7 billion to more than $14 billion over the coming decade, according to a group of state attorneys general who based their projection on investment returns and interest. Lawyers for Purdue and the Sackler family disputed the estimate.

 

“Their lives aren’t going to change. It’s a shame there can’t be something done that would make them suffer with the rest of us,” said Tamara Graham, of St. Petersburg, Florida.

 

But she was willing to accept the outcome because it gives her a sliver of hope that the money for treatment could save her youngest brother, who has struggled with addiction for longer than she can remember.

 

“I wish that I could stand up there,” she said. “I would love to make them watch a video of him going through withdrawals, the pain, the vomiting, him begging us to kill him.”

 

The settlement came nearly two years after the Stamford, Connecticut-based company filed for bankruptcy while facing some 3,000 lawsuits that accused Purdue of fueling the crisis by aggressively pushing sales of OxyContin.

 

“You don’t take the architects of the opioid crisis and give them a sweetheart deal,” said Ed Bisch, whose 18-year-old son died of an overdose nearly 20 years ago. “Where is the deterrent?”

 

Bisch, who has spent more than a decade pushing for the Sacklers to be criminally prosecuted, is leading a group of families that are asking the U.S. Justice Department to appeal the settlement.

 

“The Sacklers are buying immunity with blood money,” said Bisch, of Westampton, New Jersey. “The only silver lining is their name is mud, and it will forever be mud.”

 

Purdue Pharma will be reorganized into a new company with a board appointed by public officials and will funnel its profits into government-led efforts to prevent and treat opioid addiction.

And what if there is a cure for pain, that isn't from a pill, or a shot? Just like the Cures for all disease?

Mental, Physical, Emotional.

You really believe that the pills they prescribe are helping anyone? Masking the pain receptors isn't a cure. It's a Mask.

 

But, guess we're not there yet…

Cause I'm reading the comments here and trying to figure out the game plan.

Some have the theory that CIA trained Afgan (antifa) are going to run the camps they've been building everywhere.

Why are there so many "FEMA" camps?

What is the purpose? What is the narrative [they're] pushing?

Just trying to come up with why they would bring them in to all these places, if they didn't have to nefarious plan.

(that will backfire)
