The brutal storm that has engulfed the east coast is battering New York.
Over the holiday weekend, there were 17 deaths reported, with even more expected.
In Erie County alone, there were 12 deaths.
Bad Days…
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz offered up some bad news.
He stated, “We do believe based on reports we’re getting from the field we are going to get a number — hopefully not a significant number — but a number of additionally confirmed deaths in the next six hours because of bodies that have been found but have not yet been transported to hospitals for identification and confirmation of death.”
Christopher Tate, associate weather producer and meteorologist at Fox Weather, stated, “There is still a band of lake effect snow currently sitting south of Buffalo. If the wind shifts back … south just a little bit, that would push that band of lake effect snow north back into Buffalo.
“That is still possible.”
Poloncarz added, “This has just been the worst kind of storm you can imagine. This is a storm we will never forget.”
Governor Hochul has already been in contact with the White House, which has already offered to help in any way possible.
Let’s see how Hochul handles her storm compared to DeSantis handling back-to-back hurricanes.
