Thanks as always. As someone who’s lurked for a long time, your threads have been beyond helpful and your information, so detailed. I know if I see a thread you’ve started, to stay on notice, and that is so helpful for people like me who have a somewhat rudimentary understanding of weather but nowhere near the knowledge to fully grasp what may (and can) happen days in advance. This subforum, in general, seems to have some really useful mets/posters but I know if I see it’s a “Walt” thread, we’re in trouble,

you better change your post, what date is the next 3" deluge to next 10" deluge...

Probably Sunday night into Monday morning at the rate we’re going at.

eastern maybe, western long island has gotten a lot of heavy rain especially tonight

 

Exactly. Looks like we’re in for another 2 solid hours of off and on pounding thunderstorms. Everything off the ocean looks like Wantagh to Islip.

Most Long Island schools open after Labor Day.

My kids started today. They have school tomorrow too.

Long Island will be relatively unscathed compared to the City on west.

Yeah I’m in SW Suffolk. I feel lucky, so far. 

I can’t believe I’m typing this but this may be the worst Metro event since Sandy. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my area continues to dodge a bullet. I don’t think the true scope of what’s happened tonight will come to light until tomorrow and the following days either. 

Thunder cracking loud as hell. Rain picking back up. Can hear the trees dancing. 

Tornado incoming to Falmouth, eastern Cape. Wow. This is unbelievable. 

Lol phone blowing up again. FF warning until 2:30 now. I want to go to sleep so bad, but this is insane. 

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some spin ups east of New Haven with that radar over the Sound. I don’t know if you allow cursing but holy shit, just dark ass red everywhere.

Cross Island Parkway.  My father-in-law sent this.

 

 

I can’t even believe that’s real.

I think the number of drownings will be shocking.  

And, an absolute horrible way to go. In your own car?

Sandy submerged most of the subway system with salt water which also fried the electronics. This won't be as bad. But still a devastating flood situation for some. Some of these Gulf systems have a crazy "Part 2" in the Mid Atlantic or Northeast like Camille in VA. This is clearly Ida's "Part 2". 

Some of the signals east of the East River outside the LIRR tunnels still haven’t been fixed (it would take months of repairs, non-stop) and the L took serious salt water too. They may never fully recover from that.

Two words. South shore

Wow. Bad here right now. I don’t know if the winds have shifted but west side of my house is getting pounded right now. Windy too.  

Just now, Rmine1 said:

Looks like LI escaped 

We’re getting a condensed version but we’re about to get the worst. The last 30min have been bad. Sucks not being able to see it. 

Looks like South Shore, Wantagh east is about to get socked. That line coming off the ocean looks bad. Pouring and gusting here like crazy already.  

Just now, LibertyBell said:

well that storm was awesome because it lasted long enough to be both a night time and day time storm, some of the highest rates were during the day

 

Definitely helped I had a few high gravity beers before I went out that night. It’s different with the rain because I have poor lighting to begin with in my front yard. Lol, also no desire to go out in this deluge. 

Just now, LibertyBell said:

thats the only thing, I really wish this happened during the day

I hate night time snowstorms too

I don’t know. I want to say it was 2016, but I was told I had no work and it was a legit blizzard and I went out (with my German Shepherd) to shovel like 2am and it was one of the most exhilarating nights of my life. Somehow it was harrowing and peaceful all at once. There was no one out and I just let the snow hit me in the face for a few minutes. 

Damn. Kicking here now. Worst of the rain and wind right now. Wish I could see any of it. Windiest it’s been all Summer. Almost 40mph probably. Lightning like crazy too. 

I can’t see anything outside right now but it is pouring here in SW Suffolk now and the winds are gusting the highest they have so far. At least 30-35mph. Rain just driving into the side of my house.

about to drive into work, should be fun.

I thank god I’m off tonight. Driving from the North Shore to the South at about 12:30am would not be something I’d be looking forward to.

13" in like 2.5 hours lol

Yeah that was one crazy morning.

City proper should get heavy rain in the next 30 min

That line in middle Jersey is heading right for Brooklyn and Queens. That’s gonna be nasty.

look like we are missing a lot of this here on long island. slightly relieved

Theres a line of thunderstorms that look pretty serious in the eastern part of Delaware that look like they’re heading right to our area. Probably a good 4 hours away at least.
