People in NYC get so many “severe” weather warnings for random parts of the metro area far from where they live that they just tune them out. My reaction when I got the Ida updates was “yeah, I get it, it’s raining”. I left my house as normal and thought nothing of it. It was by pure luck that I didn’t take the subway anywhere because I’d almost certainly have been stuck when the rain went insane about an hour later. I’ll definitely scrutinize the warnings more carefully in the future, but I totally understand why a lot of people ignored them and then were surprised by how bad the storm was.
