60 minutes did a great story on the flood protection systems across the Netherlands last night. They showed the amazing job that the Dutch did with the dunes at Katwijk.
Nice. Makes me miss that place. Havent been over there in 9 years, seems like forever. Truly a special country with great people.

This is how you build a protective dune.
That's awesome. My family is from Holland, and our ancestoral hometown is Nordwijk, the next town north from Katwijk. Some of the artificial dunes up in that area are massive, and resemble natural rolling hills. That area had massive flooding in the 1950s and since then the Dutch have engineered amazing flood protection systems.

Wrong. Sustained winds of 77 in NJ, and gusts to 96 on LI.

The New England section of LI?
What? There were flash flood warnings for much of Suffolk county earlier. I can’t upload photos here for some reason, but go to RadarScope storm history. @uofmiami posted on another board that he recorded nearly 2” in northern Nassau.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0828 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 322 PM EDT Wed Sep 12 2018 Areas affected...SE NY...Long Island...Southern New England Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 121921Z - 130000Z Summary...Showers and thunderstorms with rainfall rates up to 2"/hr will continue along a stationary front this afternoon. Flash flooding is possible. Discussion...GOES-16 visible imagery shows a clear demarcation of clear sky conditions along and south of a surface boundary draped along the coast from near Philadelphia, PA northeast towards Chatham, MA. Within this clear area, MLCape has risen to 500-1000 J/kg which has allowed thunderstorms to develop and persist across the threat area. PWATs across the region are over 2 inches, and latest 18Z upper air soundings from KOKX have freezing levels nearing 15 kft, above the 90th percentile for the date. This deep warm cloud depth and high PWAT is allowing efficient rain processes, with rainfall rates over 2"/hr estimated recently by KOKX radar. Although instability weakens north of the front, warm advection atop the boundary is driving lift, aided by weak PVA and diffluence within a 300mb jet entrance region. 18Z soundings from CHH and OKX have 20kts of 0-6km shear, so multicell development is possible, which could train thanks to boundary parallel flow and corfidi vectors aligned with the 0-6km mean wind. The high res guidance is varied in continuing or intensifying convection through the remainder of the afternoon, but the sufficient lift in a very moist environment supports at least a continuation of a heavy rain threat through this evening. Many places within the threat area have received 2-4" of rainfall in the past 24 hours, and these antecedent conditions lead to an enhanced flash flood threat. An additional 1 to as much as 3 inches of rainfall is possible, and flash flooding will be possible where rain rates become 2"/hr. Weiss ATTN...WFO...ALY...BOX...OKX...
Yea, areas in northern LI continue to get pounded

This is the best storm I’ve seen since October 2015. This storm may even be better than that one.
And of course, my stupid rain gauge would fail at a time like this. Reporting 0.00” after two downpours.
Best lightning I’ve seen in Suffolk maybe ever. Neighbors tree got hit
