    Picked up just over an inch so far since 8am.  Event total thus far 1.53".  Winds blowing here but nothing really noteworthy in my neighborhood.  Gusts still in the 25 mph range.  Temp. 53.  Haven't had a day like this in a loooong time.  Have to say it is nice for a change.

    Working in the yard the last few days and the top soil is dust.  Bone dry.

    October rainfall to date at my location is 1.56".  That is FAR better than last October when the entire month had just a Trace.

    Still need rain badly.  Think reasonable expectation for my area is 1" from the coming event based on current guidance.

    Anything more will be a gift and anything less will be a disappointment.

    This storm unfortunately didn't quite bust the drought west of 287. The surface is moist from days of drizzle, but the (subsurface) soil moisture is still low.

    Didn’t bust it.  Didn’t dent it.  Barely dinged it west of 287.  Whatever rain fell soaked in though so that’s a plus.

    I think it is safe to say this storm went as advertised for coastal NJ and Long Island in terms of wind gusts, power outages, coastal flooding and beach erosion.  Rainfall varied from west to east and no totals really out of hand.

    I don’t quite get the number of inland power outages as this was pretty much run of the mill in my area.  Rain with wind gusts of 30-35 mph should not be knocking out power.  Guess trees still in full leaf part of the problem?  Not like the ground was saturated so don’t quite get it.   Coastal NJ as expected took the brunt of this.  Some impressive videos from along the NJ shore.
