This is a vid my dad took yesterday as he was driving, or attempted to drive really, to work. I think it’s the LIE but not exactly sure https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!ACfOCntL1MBIt2c&cid=8A40D87C289A6855&id=8A40D87C289A6855!3947&parId=8A40D87C289A6855!1912&o=OneUp

Yeah that’s actually a good idea, we can still keep the old scales and warnings. But adding a more coherent scale on ALL types of impacts would be a lot better than just wind.

What scale are you using?

Seeing some of the aftermath now, i think the effects from PTC Ida is arguably worse than either Irene or Floyd for the nyc metro area…. Sandy probably not but I can’t believe how high the death toll is getting

Finished with 1.89” of rain in lindenhurst, happy my home didn’t wind up flooded out or wrecked by a tornado like many in nyc nj and pa, but i hope the recovery process isnt too bad for those that did get impacted

Finished with about 1.89” of rainfall yesterday in sw suffolk

Thats why January 2016 was so good, 90% of it fell during the day

Yeah michael kinda came in at an angle where it was traveling northeastward and went back out into the atlantic fairly quickly, off the coast of north carolina. It did causes some flooding and power issues in the carolinas and virginia too though, i remember it dropped up to 10” in nc, and there was significant flooding since they were already waterlogged from florence a month earlier, pretty similar to what’s happening in nj ny and pa now that i think about it

Camille wound up dropping extreme rainfall in Virginia days after it made landfall, unfortunately over a 100 died from the flash flooding and mudslides… they both formed in the same region as well, just south of cuba, but camille never made landfall in cuba so it was able to get it’s act together more quickly compared to ida.

Yep now down to 67 only a few minutes later

Last i checked i was at 75 a little before 12, still at 71 though but it’s dropping quick

I believe similar happened with Hurricane Camille. That storm is probably a good analog for Ida

20 degree difference between my thermometer at home and here in albany. Only 54 degrees here

Up to 1.45” of rain in sw suffolk now. Winds have died down and shifted around to the sw

That must be what my dad saw earlier. Holy shit

0.85” of rain in lindenhurst winds now gusting up to around 35 mph. On a side note, My dad just called and said as he was driving to work he had to turn around. Cars flooded to their roofs on the cross island while he was on the expressway. Had call in to work because it was too dangerous. He said people were wading in chest deep water using their phone lights to see…. On the expressway itself everyone was pulled over with their hazards on due to how heavy the rain was, and some of the smaller cars started to stall. He took a video of the flooding on the cross island, from the ramp to get onto it from the expressway. I’ll try to post it here if i get a chance.

I don’t know about everyone, probably only nassau, much of suffolk has an inch or less still and the bulk of the remaining rain will miss besides maybe nw suffolk

75 in lindenhurst, dp of 73. 5 degree jump in the last hour or so

0.69” of rain in Lindenhurst, strongest gusts have been in the upper 20s or so. Only a little less rain here in albany, at 0.51”

That outbreak produced an f4 in connecticut I believe. I think it also produced the strongest ever tornado on record on long island which was an f2 edit: actually that was July 1989 I was thinking a totally different outbreak that same year

Wow that one actually looks pretty large and violent…

Also that other supercell that was in CNJ earlier is still holding it’s own way out by Nantucket

Wow I dont think I’ve ever seen a supercell embedded in a mass of heavy rain like that before

At about .10” in my backyard, here in albany it’s about the same

Grand isle only got brushed by the inner eyewall too which is kinda crazy
