Editor’s note: Asm. Fall is also concerned about flooding in the neighborhoods he represents. On MLK Day, he hosted a cleanup and flood information event right in the area of Port Richmond High School.
Readers may also remember our coverage of Hurricane Ophelia, which caused the Central Park Zoo sea lions to escape their underwater enclosures and many other instances of severe flooding.
