    Thanks for the input. One would think that they would be a bit more prepared given last year and the pandemic with the hospitals full there.

    How many floors are there? Top floor might not be best for winds, and bottom floor might not be best for flooding. Are they going to provide updates/pics/videos/etc.?

    This makes no sense. The reasoning yesterday was that they could not do it because they could not enact the contra-flow fast enough and they did not want people getting 'caught out in the storm". So this concern has now lessened because we have a full day less to evacuate and the storm is not going to weaken?(it was never forecast to weaken)???

    I don't want 2-4 inches of rain from the remnants of Ida. Maybe an inch or so but not that much. I don't think that 2-4 inches will pan out here. We shall see.

    I tried to throw some in but got nitpicked apart. Anyway, I am glad Ida is not nearly as strong as I thought it would be at this time. I thought cat 3 by noon.

    There was no assumption. Do you not understand the significance of the "I guess" part and the question mark at the end? *Seems like given you latest posts here and in the main Ida thread, you want to get into it with someone. Just concentrate on the storm maybe? I also took out the snarky ending as I want to follow this and not go back and forth with someone over some petty bull.

    I did not mention you. I mentioned the site, the people who fall for it, nutjobs like MTG, etc. You were not mentioned.
  8. sojitodd
    No. I was surprised at the drop and realized that it is getting it's act together. Surprise followed by realization is not contradictory.
  9. sojitodd
    Yeah as the line right after the one you quoted:

    Remnant wise I am not really thinking I will get 2-4 inches or rain out of this. Also I am surprised at the drop in pressure-I guess they were overestimating it at the last advisory before this one? It is getting it's at together. And it does look like it is east of the forecast unfortunately. And that conspiracy site.. LOL So sad that so many fall for it all. I bet MTG is on there adding to the lunacy.

    Is that it? You could at least flounce of the board with a flourish and a F*** YOU ALL! post or maybe make a lengthy "Goodbye Cruel Board" post. We deserve better than this. *If the levees fail it is gonna be partly YOUR FAULT!!-you admitted it! You admitted you were part of the whole sh**ty job of it! j/k of course...kinda.

    So quit crying about censorship when you admit you posted it in the wrong thread and that is why it was deleted. I think only one person said you should be censored in this thread. Being a "human induced" climate change denier is just not going to go over well with most-it is what it is. Why not go post your storm landfall prediction in that thread or post some not-so-politicized posts here? You are the one who just had to have that *politicized self-admitted "rant" so maybe don't get so bent out of shape about the(very predictable)responses. * * on topic banter: This thing will be a cat 3 by noon tomorrow.

    Crazy people can be eloquent as hell-what can then matter is what they are saying-not necessarily how they are saying it. Crazy can be in how the person is expressing themselves, in what they are saying, or both. In your case with your "eloquent" climate change denial it seems to be he is probably referencing the second option. * on banter topic: this storm is gonna be bad.

    So the official 11pm NHC numbers are 989 mb pressure and 80 mph winds. Cuba did not weaken it.

    They better be making the right bet-especially 16 years to the day after Katrina...

    "Nothingburger" should also be included in the automatic ban category.

    It is right there lol. West Jefferson is a hellhole about 20 miles west of Columbus and a screw zone for any kind of interesting weather. We did have a small tornado touch down and cause damage a few miles south of me a year or two ago-but nothing interesting weather-wise happens here. This has been the one of the most boring summers weather wise here so I have to get my fix in other areas following tropical storms, heat waves, etc. hence my being in this thread *plus I love NYC- of all of the major cities I have visited people were the friendliest there to me-quite the opposite of the stereotype. Also I am a skyscraper nerd so... *8.05 storm total at Central Park as of 8am.

    They had nearly ten inches of rain in three hours. That site where the record was broken was just a few miles upstream from Waverly, where at least 20 of the deaths were and many of the missing are. No wonder that creek rose like it did. That building was a grocery store and the pics I have seen of it now...a damn mess. It looks like the water level was at least six feet high or more in there. Also amazing to see brick houses demolished and broken apart by floodwaters. Not just the usual suspects(mobile homes, unanchored older houses, etc.)washed away or destroyed in this. The dirty water mark level in the remains of one broken open brick house was about 1 foot below the ceiling.

    I can't even remember the last time I had a snowfall storm total at 8 inches! Maybe back in 2008? At least it looks like nobody died in this in NYC, and the damage seems less than I thought it would be with these amounts. Henri may have basically crapped out, but these rainfall totals are historic-broke a record or two. Always interesting when a record or two falls in an event. A one hour rainfall record being broken is nothing to sneeze at.

    At 7.92 inches so far, you would think that would be a snow storm total at Central Park, not a rain storm total. Looks like it is about over though.
  22. sojitodd
    Actually I looked it up and it(greatest 24 hour total-not single calendar day) was 11.17 inches on October 8-9th, 1903. So this is not really close for that at least.
  23. sojitodd
    Central Park above 7 inches officially(7.04 inches storm total) as of 8pm. That would be a 24 hour total too since it started at 8 last night. I wonder how that ranks in 24 hour rainfall totals for NYC?
  24. sojitodd
    It looked like the heaviest on the NHC site that they posted was up through central Connecticut and into Western Massachusetts. They did not have anything close to 6 inches for the NYC area. They had the six to eight areas in the fore mentioned places and then noted the "up to ten inches" in the remarks for those same areas. but again, better to have more rain than more surge or wind. *this is just what the graphics on that site were showing for the last few days...so if the general public looked at it that is what they would have seen on the site.
  25. sojitodd
    As of 4pm Central Park had 6.29 inches. More in other parts like Brooklyn.
