President Biden to survey Ida damage in New York and New Jersey

President Biden will travel to Queens, New York, and Manville, New Jersey, next week to survey storm damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida, the White House said Saturday. He will make the trip on Tuesday, days after visiting Louisiana, which was also battered by Ida. 

At least 47 storm-related deaths have been reported in the Northeast, including 13 in New York City and 25 in New Jersey. Another 15 people died in the Southeast.  "Storms affect all of us, but what we've got to recognize is the suddenness, the brutality of storms now, it is different," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said as the city worked to recover.
