Ero estremamente invidioso perchè Miriam riceve gli avvisi sul suo telefono a New York ed io no. Allora mi sono iscritto al sito che manda gli allerta via e-mail, ed ora ne ricevo diversi al giorno. Ecco un esempio di cosa mandano.

Alcuni elementi che noto.
- Brooklyn viene indicato con il suo nome della contea vera ed originale, ovvero Kings, che poi confina non a caso con Queens. Ma tra parentesi viene scritto Brooklyn.
- Vengono fornite informazioni anche relative a parte del New Jersey. Se io fossi il governatore del New Jersey sarei offeso per questa sorta di colonizzazione.
- L’allerta dura due ore e cinquanta minuti. Preecisione assoluta.
- Le istruzioni su cosa fare se si incontra una strada allagata sono precise e dirette. Se vedi allagato e prosegui, muori. La maggior parte dei morti in situazioni alluvionali è dentro le automobili.
- Nessuno ancora chiama il Triboro Bridge con il suo nuovo nome RFK.

Il DEP department of envirnomental protection cita un “diritto a sapere” sul fatto che con la pioggia, un volume non prevedibile di acque nere, fogna, finirà nell’East River e nel Hudson. Il settanta per cento dei tombini stradali che captano l’acqua piovana di New York finisce nella rete delle acque nere. Perchè sono impianti vecchi di duecento anni e non c’è modo di cambiare. Quando piove, gli impianti di depurazione non sono in grado di trattare tutta l’acqua che arriva e dunque scaricano nei fiumi. Questo la gente lo sa bene, ma tant’è il DEP lo DEVE dire. Non fate il bagno e non bevete l’acqua dell’East River, mi raccomando.
