  1. Sorry for the banter, but we’ve gotten to the point where everything is on the table when it comes to the entire Metro area. Literally, anything can happen, weather-wise, here, given the time of year. It’s insane. This is dangerous.
  2. That kind of storm that’s produced those 2 tornados looks like it’s heading right for NNJ, east of Port Jervis/Middletown/west Orange County. Good luck to those in that path. Freaking nasty looking
  3. Keep getting really lucky here in SW Suffolk dodging these cells, but something tells me I’m about an hour or so away from running out of that luck. Did a quick outdoor sweep to make sure I have no projectiles flying around.
  4. Yep….same happened to me. I had water coming through the cracks of my basement for 2 straight days. That was a crappy weekend. I was renting at the time and my landlord did nothing so me and a few buddies stayed on water patrol until this guy finally showed up on Monday morning. Needless to say, I gave him a rent check that was half the amount because I figured that was about the amount of work I did. He bitched about it and I dared him to take me to court. I’d estimate I had a good 9-10”. I lost about 90% of my baseball cards and all my vinyl. My wife lost a lot of her family pics. I learned a rough lesson…don’t pack valuables in cardboard boxes.
  5. I couldn’t get a good picture of it with my phone, but the moon looks absolutely gorgeous right now, it’s very comfortable out and not a breeze to be felt. If you had told me this even just 24 hours ago I would have said you were crazy.
  6. I had to take a picture. It’s amazing the contrast between my front yard and back yard. Haha, I think I’m annoying my wife obsessing about it.
  7. Sky to my south is absolutely gorgeous. Sky to my north is as ominously gray as can get. No wind whatsoever.
  8. I work in Huntington so I have often followed your posts. I know the winds, even after Isaias was “done,” were still ferocious even when the sun broke out about 4pm that day. So over that crap. I live on the SS, not near the water and I have noticed the NS has gotten the thunderstorms a little worse this Summer, so far. We’ve been relatively dry since mid-July (we were away week of aug 7, so I can’t attest to that).
  9. I think they (I assume you mean the media) jumped the gun so quickly because they were so far behind just 2 days ago and they’re now playing catch up. Being in W. suffolk I’m praying the East models play out, selfishly, because I’m sick of cleaning up broken crap and breaking down and discarding fallen trees. Frankly, a couple of inches of rain wouldn’t be the worst for my area. Most of these severe thunderstorms have missed my neighborhood. Just don’t want to deal with 60-70mph+ gusts.
  10. I want to thank you guys (and gals, maybe?) for 10 years of letting me lurk here and be able to tell my family and friends days in advance what the hell is going on, weather-wise. Maybe it’s the fact I’m delirious from 72 hours of work the last 5 days or the beer I just drank, but I’ve almost joined so many times and finally did tonight. Anyway, thanks for all the info. I enjoy reading the site, I consider myself a bit of a weather buff (thank you, Gloria). I’ve been in the eye of a Hurricane, been in an earthquake (a very small one) and a full blown tornado so I consider myself lucky to be in the company of experts. Lol, take a bow, I feel like I already know some of you. And, thank you especially to Walt. Your threads are awesome. tl/dr: embarrassing first post
