Looks like a storm popped up over the north shore of Staten Island. Very cloudy with a breeze by me on the south shore.

do you think this storm name will be retired? another example of the dreaded i storm..

Would be the second straight I storm from this cycle of names to be 1 and done.  Isaias replaced Ike which was retired in 2008.  They never got to the I storm in 2014, so this is its first iteration.  Ike replaced Isidore after 2002.  

Just got power back after 7 or 8 hours being out.  

Wind gusts were definitely stronger for Sandy.  I had an 85 MPH gust then.  Topped out at 57 today.  

Hearing Staten Island has numerous trees and wires down

I forgot about the thread here.
Lots of lightning looking westward, getting ready for the 2 AM wakeup thunder.

Yep, sitting in a deluge right now.

Nasty cell looks to be hitting Bayonne and north shore of SI.

hearing the thunder and seeing the light show to my south

95/70 by me

Look at the line forming northwest of Philly

the deluge has made it to me

the sun just came out for 30 seconds

finally dry slotted

man if this were winter, I probably would have gotten 8 inches of snow in the last 2 hours.

The heavy rain band coming into the NYC metro area looks like it means business.

Rain getting heavier here. Looks like a juicy band on radar coming off the water.

light rain has started by me.

Storms forming on Staten Island and lower Manhattan 

looks like a line trying to form along I-81 in Eastern PA.

the rain has commenced by me.

hearing thunder, its getting very dark out.

Outerbridge Crossing is the edge between blue skies and dark ominous skies.

hearing lots of thunder from that cell to my west that passed over Linden. All I got was a little light drizzle on the outer fringes
