Hoboken Mayor Ravinder Bhalla talks about how his city is preparing for the impact of a major storm in the midst of the pandemic.
Flooding is still a MAJOR issue in Hoboken even in a short period of heavy rain. Are there any existing mitigation systems? If so- they do not appear effective.

@BrianLehrer Today I remember Sandy and thank you for your night broadcast during that Superstorm. You, the info, and the puzzles you were doing with Will Shortz helped keep me and my wife calm during a stress filled night. Thank you again.

@BrianLehrer The destruction of wetlands in coastal NJ (& everywhere else in US) has massively exacerbated flooding. Many of these flood-prevention projects would have been unnecessary (or much smaller) if the wetlands had all been left alone
