In a speech Thursday, he confirmed FEMA is on the ground in New York and New Jersey amid widespread flooding and tornadoes that have led to the deaths of dozens of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spoke with Governor (Kathy) Hochul of New York and Governor (Phil) Murphy of New Jersey, and I plan to speak with Governor (Tom) Wolf of Pennsylvania after last night\u2019s devastating storm and floods from Hurricane Ida, the fifth largest hurricane in our history,\u201d Biden stated. \u201cRecord rain fell in these states and New York recorded more rain yesterday, the first day of September, than it usually sees the entire month of September. We saw more than three inches of rain per hour fall in Central Park.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He issued an emergency declaration for New Jersey and New York in the wake of the storm, which downed power lines, destroyed houses and brought major cities to a standstill.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tune in as I deliver remarks on our response to Hurricane Ida. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oguK3wNtvG\">https:\/\/t.co\/oguK3wNtvG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 President Biden (@POTUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1433461763958267908?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden also said he\u2019s working with electric and gas companies to restore power for all of the residents in Louisiana who are still without power.
