Good morning. It is a state of emergency in parts of the Northeast as remnants of Hurricane

Ida caused flash flooding and tornadoes. The question is, are these weather events the new normal?

Plus, the Supreme Court refuses to block a controversial Texas law banning abortions at six weeks.

But with the law facing several challenges, the question is, what is next in this legal fight?

And a new warning about extremists preparing for a rally at the U.S. Capitol later this month.

The question is, how are federal officials and police preparing?

It is way too early for this.

Thank you. preparing. It is way too early for this. Hey everybody, good morning again and welcome to way too early, the show that knows some of the fire crews here in California that could use a lot of that East Coast rain. I'm Jacob Soberoff on this Thursday, September 2nd.

We are going to start right now with the news. The remnants of Hurricane Ida are hitting the

northeast this morning with reports of flash flooding and tornadoes in New York, New Jersey, and

Philadelphia. Late last night, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy both

declared states of emergency calling on residents to stay inside. Fire and rescue crews across

the region have responded to numerous water rescues and evacuations because of the high water

levels. There have been at least five weather-related fatalities, four in New York City,

and one in Passaic, New Jersey. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency

inside New York City for the first time ever last night. More than three inches of rain were

recorded falling in Central Park within one hour, and that shattered a record that was set

just last week. This is video right now of water rushing into an apartment on East 22nd Street in

Manhattan. Most subway lines were suspended last night due to the heavy rain and that flooding.

A number of funnel clouds and tornadoes have also been reported all across the region.

I want to go right now to meteorologist Bill Cairns for the forecast bill.

This is, I mean, I would say it's unbelievable, but we're seeing it with our own eyes.
