Is this legit? Lol

How much rain on Fishers Island this month? Was out on Block Island last week and it's crazy how green the lawns and everything is. I think they had like 9 inches of rain last month and I think they had like 3-5 again this month.

I'm in Narragansett and the amount of lighting in those storms has been absurd. Sounds like a firework finale. Lighting maps has been 100+ strikes a min in that area.

What a night ahead.

82/78 and full sun here in New Haven.

Upton liking Southern CT for tornado development. A line of thunderstorms entering N central PA is fcst to weaken by CAM`s as it moves east into the Appalachians, followed by a new line of storms developing this afternoon over ern PA and central NY and moving SE into the area. Expect this line to move through from about 17Z-23Z, crossing the NYC metro area between 19Z-21Z. Main threat from these storms will be damaging winds via large MLCAPE up to 2000 J/kg per NAM, momentum transfer of 40-kt mid level flow from aloft, also via steep low level lapse rates and inverted-V soundings. There is also a low- end tornado threat inland, more so across southern CT where models show potential for enhanced lift beneath the right entrance region of an upper jet streak to the north, while hodographs show veering low level profiles supportive of rotating storms during the afternoon, and where low level vorticity could be locally enhanced via channeling of sfc wind up river valleys and via possible sea breeze interaction closer to the CT coastline.

What a truly special summer. Couldn't draw up a better one. We might not experience this again in our lifetimes..

Reminds me of my summer in Santa Monica 27 years ago. I went "skiing" in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon but never left the beach...

I'm 2 towns west of there and have had 9.24 inches of rain this month.

2.87. We flood.

At 1020 AM EDT, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing waterspouts and straight line winds over 35 kt was located 9 nm south of New Haven Harbor, moving northeast at 20 knots.

Near Islip.

Some big totals already out on central LI with more coming in.

I was just reading on Facebook there are a ton of docks, boats, logs, etc floating out in the sound at the mouth of the CT.

HVN already at 82/73.

Do most of you Vermonters have flood insurance? Regular homeowners doesn't usually cover flood damage. Manu people are going to be faced with fixing their homes out-of pocket if they didn't have flood insurance. Also, it's probably going to be impossible to find contractors to fix a lot of this stuff up. Imagine how many electricians, drywall installers, carpenters, etc are going to be needed to fix/check all these flooded homes.

Sterling Market in Johnson.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) - The Winooski River in Montpelier has surpassed Tropical Storm Irene levels, and city manager William Fraser says the Wrightsville Dam is nearing capacity. Fraser says if the water exceeds capacity in the Wrightsville Dam, it will spill into the North Branch River. He adds that would be the first time it’s happened since the dam was built, so there is no precedent for potential damage. Fraser also says there are very few evacuation options remaining, so people in at-risk areas may wish to go to upper floors in their houses. https://www.wcax.com/2023/07/11/montpelier-city-manager-warns-potential-wrightsville-dam-failure-flood-continue/

Are you ready for the dewiest July on record?

Some pretty warm water temps out there. Lots of 77-78 readings today. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/coastal-water-temperature-guide/all_table.html
