I’m surprised they’re putting a hotel over there, I always thought it was somewhat of a private airport with only personal planes, unless they’re trying to change that. But yeah that area has become busier, lots of shopping centers over there, loads of cars, concrete, and asphalt.

Lol ISP is either the same or 1-2 degrees lower than here. This summer it’s been consistently lower though. FRG is turning into LGA lol.

86/75 split here today, 0.31” of rainfall. Might be the first time this summer that my high was lower than ISP, though the rain is to blame.

0.20” here from the first showers that have since dissipated, plus 0.11” from the storms this morning. Already more rain than Isaias.

Getting a sun shower here, it’s pouring. 84/80/98 it feels like a sauna.

The browning seems to be getting worse, I wonder if the lack of rain to wash off the salt is partly to blame. It’s getting pretty ugly out there. 86/80/100 right now, 0.11” downpour this morning.

82/77 here. Generally sunny with intermittent cloud cover (thick low clouds).

91/72 here. 0.14” from a pop up shower.

Is it bad that I’m jealous of Iowa and Illinois right now? We just had a strong Tropical Storm not even a week ago and I’m bored.

I’d like to go back in time and experience 1966 (weather-wise not socially). 1936 is another one. Unless you’re in Long Island.

2010 was legendary.

90/75/100 here with sporadic raindrops.

I see browning trees as far north as NY-25, all on the south-facing sides, some species more affected than others. I didn’t know salt spray could get that far inland.

The south sides of so many trees are brown, and I’m miles inland.

They need to just go ahead and build the “Cross Harbor Freight Tunnel” and eliminate the need for so many trucks in the first place.

We could really use any amount of rain here, not holding my breath just yet, everything’s always a miss for LI, but what’s happening near Philly looks interesting.

82/67 here today. 0.02” of rain fell.

Seeing quite a few heavily damaged trees that are still standing, it shouldn’t take much to knock them over, whether it be a thunderstorm, another tropical storm or hurricane, a strong front, etc. Just like Sandy and that early season snowstorm shortly after, a tag team of destruction. If Isaias lasted any longer than it did they probably all would’ve fallen.

After being out and about today I really think Isaias may have been more destructive than Irene as far as wind goes. Irene felt much longer in duration and had rain, but the damage seems worse with Isaias, which lasted only a few hours. 1. Sandy 2. Dennis (FL 2005) 3. March 2010 Nor’easter 4. Isais 5. Irene I was inside Dennis while it was a Cat 4, though I wasn’t near the center, not sure what “category” I actually experienced for sure (likely Cat 1-2) but only Sandy (and March 2010 stuck on the GWB) felt that intense, Sandy honestly felt meaner and more unforgiving, but I believe being in NY had something to do with it, FL is much better suited for these things, Sandy also lasted much longer because it was so massive. And I know the March 2010 Nor’easter wasn’t a tropical system, but I always mention it with tropical cyclones because it felt like one. I was stuck on the GWB during March 2010, we literally went through the toll booth as the bridge was closing, one of the last cars to make it. We were on the bridge for close to 30 minutes and the wind was lifting the car off the roadway, on the lower level, in the outermost lane (scary sh*t). I have no clue what the gusts were at 200+ feet above the choppy Hudson River, but they were enough to lift and move a 4000+ pound vehicle and that’s something I’ll never forget.

454 has some of the lowest gas prices around, roughly similar to Riverhead.

Topped out at 88 here, low of 69.

Pressure bottomed out at 1001.0mb at 2:42 pm here. The damage I’ve seen looks about on par with Irene, but (obviously) less than either Sandy or March 2010. Didn’t see nearly as much tree damage as some of the pics in this thread, loads of debris and branches but no downed trees. That severe thunderstorm+microburst last summer must’ve cleared out the weak ones, in addition to Sandy, etc. My job hasn’t had power since before the height of the storm, and no streetlights for most of the way there. Today should be peaceful.

Sky clearing out in one swoop, the whole mass of clouds is just racing away.

The London Plane Trees outside my window are being ripped to shreds, several branches down and a ton of foliage gone. Pines holding up much better, southern trees doing better too.

Getting some of the highest gusts of the day now.
