A stunned US East Coast faced a rising death toll, surging rivers, tornado damage and continuing calls for rescue overnight after the remnants of Hurricane Ida walloped the region with record-breaking rain, drowning more than two dozen people in their homes and cars.In a region that had been warned about potentially deadly flash flooding but hadn't braced for such a blow from the no-longer-hurricane, the storm killed at least 32 people from Maryland to New York on Wednesday night and yesterday morning.At least 12 people died in New York City, police said, one of them in a car and 11 in flooded basement apartments that often serve as relatively affordable homes in one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets.
