MARGARET BRENNAN: The rainfall in New York these past few days shattered records with the most rain ever recorded in one day in some places. Once unimaginable, these kinds of scenes are becoming more common and the need for disaster aid more urgent. New York Governor Kathy Hochul joins us from Albany. Good morning, Governor. MARGARET BRENNAN: You called this life threatening rainfall event. The subways were shut, part of LaGuardia Airport shut down due to flooding. I mean, this is stunning.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, late last night Congress did reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program that was in question for a bit. What federal aid are you expecting to need here? MARGARET BRENNAN: But given this concern about fiscal spending, I do want to ask you, you know, NASA had a report out a few days ago saying parts of New York City are sinking from both human and natural factors. And that can impact flooding risk. So if that's true, you have to rebuild a whole lot of infrastructure and taxpayers did pump in billions to that national effort.
