further notice. if your car is inaccessible and you want it, get over there, pay the fine, et cetera. additionally, we ve been very close with the 10,000 personnel coming in from around clearly we re going to be monitoring this news conference that s gotten very specific local to residents there in new orleans. for good reason, the point was made that it is the wettest year on record. that record was hit halfway through the year in the month of july. so you can imagine how the waters that are barreling towards the gulf coast, specifically new orleans, are unwelcome in the form of hurricane ida. let s go right now to talk about the new cry among top republicans this week. it s for president joe biden to either resign or face impeachment if and when the gop takes back the house next year. house minority leader, kevin mccarthy, is not ruling out either option. this isn t the tested leadership the president promised. it s a picture of weakness and
that. a severe weather system moving east after wreaking havoc and parts of the u.s. at least two people are dead after the storm brought blizzard warnings to the norm northern plains and midwest, shut down a large stretch in kansas and dumped more than 11 inches of rain on parts of louisiana and mississippi. live from our weather center with more. i wish the snow was here, am i crazy to say that? that depends, if you like that. ask susan that while we are right now. big storm across the central part of the country, moved towards the east and the cold is coming in there. 56 degrees in cleveland, 55 in new york, it s really warm and really wet. many areas across the eastern seaboard have seen the wettest year on record. atlanta, some of those spots, especially across parts of
closure cones. it s got to be about 12 to 13 feet deep right there under that overpass. and so incredible flooding here, we are going to see record flooding right here along the merrimack river. also this meets up with the mississippi river. not only here but we will see flooding in places like paducah, places like little rock, even memphis during the next week or so. st. louis has had the rainiest year on record. they have received about 61 inches of rain this year. normally they only receive 40. they re about 21 inches above that. they received 11 of those inches in december alone. and so you can see all of this water, too much water to handle, flows into the streams, into the rivers, several major rivers flow, of course, into the mississippi where it meets up near here and all of this water is going to flow downstream. this is different from the 1993 floods that happened during the summer months. it was due to the snow melt as well as a lot of rain.
