Funny how these storms always seem to do this.  It's like a repeating pattern.  Cant be a coincidence.

The electrical grid is so fragile here that a couple of distant lightning flashes takes the power down lol.

 

 

Our electrical grid is somehow good, at least in my neighborhood specifically, but the lack of storms gets frustrating sometimes. I guess it’s a south shore thing? I haven’t lost power since Sandy here and that was only for 3 days. Even in Isaias and in that big downburst in 2019 (probably the only true severe storm I’ve ever seen here) much of the town lost power but my block came out ok.

Hit 90 in lindenhurst today, dewpoint was only around 60 so it was actually fairly nice outside, minus the mosquitoes of course

huh how are you getting that weird rainy weather when you're on long island just like I am?  We just had a few flashes of lightning and no rainfall of consequence.  We had enough of that this morning though.

 

I’m in Jericho, that storm was parked over us for a couple of hours. CG lightning was insane here, back home in Lindenhurst I would have probably been in the same boat as you lol

Pushing almost 2 hours straight now of heavy rainfall, lightning and thunder has calmed down a little but it’s still there

I take back my last comment some insane c to g here in Jericho lights are flickering at my job

Seems like the storm is both crawling and weakening I thought it was going to be here already 

Only .01” today oh well

Some nice CG strikes with this small cell moving thru SW Suffolk

I’m next to FRG right now, hopefully I can get far north enough to see hail. I’m probably the only person here that has never seen it.

Never saw hail once until I saw it twice in one day back in 2019, now I’ve seen it every summer since then surprisingly

I forgot to ask this last week, but why is it that Elsa’s rainfall seemed so much heavier than your typical 40 dbz rainfall, 50 dbz just now in this passing storm didn’t seem nearly as heavy as the rainfall was when I was driving home from work on last thursday morning

Pretty good lightning show here, even though the core of it came ashore just east of here, no wind or anything.

ISP is 86/77!!!

77 dewpoint is as bad as it gets here!

Had the same reading here, was absolutely miserable earlier when I was mowing the lawn

87/67 right now, yesterday felt worse with the 75 dewpoint

24 hour total here is 4.21", .76" yesterday and 3.45" of rain from Elsa

My car stalled when i was driving home from work this morning

Luckily I got it to started up again pretty easily, so hopefully no lasting problems but I saw some other people that weren't so lucky....

Rainfall totals here are just about 4 inches now

Picked up .75" of rain in about 15 minutes

why is that woman going into a flooded subway?

Yeah that water has to be absolutely vile

Some real nice C-G strikes in that cell that just passed, lights were flickering and everything, too bad my phone's broken or else i would've taken some vids

Winds were pretty tame, maybe a gust to 30

strengthens back to a TS over land moving at that speed?  I have my doubts on that.  

Probably due to baroclinic forcing, I think. Kinda similar to Isaiah last year

Yikes, I doubt it'll be that strong, but driving home from work in that on friday morning won't be fun

Very true... Same issue with Snowstorms

Here in SW Suffolk we usually get some good totals, especially in long island jackpot storms like January 2015 and February 2013, but as long as I've been alive (21 years but still), we have never gotten a jackpot, besides maybe during the 2018 winter.... I suppose the one thing i get to brag about is the fact that I'm probably one of the few people on here who got more than 20" of snow in both Jan 2015 and Jan 2016

I swear ne nj is like a severe t storm/heavy rain hot spot. You guys over there have probably gotten more lightning today than i've had in the past few years

Picked up about .16" of rain here
